"I was thrilled to use this program with my daughter, and even more thrilled when she chose to do it first thing every day, and was upset when she didn’t see it in her workboxes! This curriculum spoke to her where she was, and it sparked her imagination; most of all, though, it made her WANT to write! She would get so involved in her characters and their stories that she just HAD to get them down on paper. ~Carrie Hernandez, Hearts at Home
"For at least four years, I have been struggling to teach my daughter to write. I knew she had the heart of a storyteller, but I could not seem to help her to get all of her stories on paper. Hand her a piece of paper and she would freeze, cry, and fight her way through each assignment. Until we found this series. It transformed writing time from a terror into a delight! ~Amy Blevins, homeschool mom with Bow of Bronze blogger

“One mom recently wrote: “I'm always on the lookout for positive, adventurous books for my kids. Callie is the kind of character whom your daughter will want to befriend, and you'll be happy to have her imitate. She's strong, smart, and kind, and she obviously is a kid with a strong faith of her own. My daughter loved this book! It helped her to cultivate her faith in Christ.”
“I'm always on the lookout for positive, adventurous books for my kids - especially ones with characters who possess a strong and growing faith. Unfortunately, those are not very easy to find. But recently I hit the jackpot when Jan May sent me a copy of her newly released book, Callie's Contest of Courage, and I was most impressed.” ~Amy Bradsher, Homeschool Parent and Blogger at Nest in the Rock
