Series ✦ Penny’s Take
A Lancaster Amish Vacation for Jacob
Rachel Stoltzfus
56/100
👎 Skip It
A family beach vacation full of comic mishaps, plus a side plot where Sarah's crush reveals a secret that shakes up the family, gives this one more going on than a typical entry, and it stays light and funny throughout. It's genuinely all-ages friendly. The only hiccup is that retailers can't agree if it's book 5 or 6, which says more about the publisher's bookkeeping than the story.
