I enjoyed Adara. I feel that it should be a read aloud to younger students depending on their temperment. Adara sees a war with people dying in front of her and it is very descriptive. This may be disturbing to some children. Also, I do see a no-no word on. p. 94 for those who have elementary students reading it independently. One of the characters explaining how her mother was involved in her enslavement says, " I understand already, you false-tongued slut of a jackal's mother!"
Adara is a lovely book. I love how Beatrice Gormley developed the family and the characters based on Scripture. I can't wait to hear what my students are going to say in our literature circle :)
