The Secrets Beneath by Kathleen Fuller

The Secrets Beneath by Kathleen Fuller combines great young adult fiction with a little mystery and intrigue. Rebekah sees a strange man checking out the house next door. She "spies" on him several times and is more curious every time she sees him. To add to the drama, Caleb, an annoying boy at school, wants to help her figure out what's going on and her cousin comes to live with Rebekah's family for the school year. Will they be able to solve the mystery? Will Rebekah learn what's troubling her cousin?

The Secrets Beneath is a great young adult fiction novel. Fuller gives fantastic insight into life in an Amish community. The writing style is fairly simple and provides a quick, easy read. Most importantly, though, the author teaches valuable lessons through the antics of Rebekah and Caleb. I would definitely recommend this book and others in the Mysteries of Middlefield Series to young adult readers.

4 stars (out of 5)

I received a free copy of this book from Thomas Nelson Publishers in exchange for my fair and honest review.
