2022 review:
I finished this one with students this year, and I must admit that the book grows a bit more tedious with each reread. It is still one of the renderings of Jesus that I refer to in my imagination. I love the unexpected gentleness of Jesus that appeals to the zealot's heart and wins him over.
2020 review:
I remember reading this in early middle school and concluding that it was a perfect book: it had adventure, romance, and Jesus... something for everyone! I saw it being discarded a few years ago and knew I needed to read it again to see if it stood the test of time. It really is a great novel for young adult readers, particularly those who have a little historical context for the time when Jesus lived on Capernaum. Daniel is caught between ideas about the future and had to choose between rebellion, which has always seemed like the answer, and the calm, measured patience Jesus displays. I enjoyed it almost as much as an adult as I did when I was a kid.

I never read this one, though I did check it out when we were studying the Romans last year. Witch of Blackbird Pond has always been a favorite of mine and I loved Calico Captive. I can't wait to read these with L.
