June 02, 2008: As with the author's previous books in this series, 'The Conflict' once again provides interesting reading as well as a look back into history. As Danny grows up, he continues to learn by facing new situations including the court system, death and prejudice. Additional topics of school, farming and travel provide balance to the book. Importantly, regardless of the topic, the story continues to impress upon young readers the importance of honesty and integrity. This book is a must read for teens (and pre-teens) for both enjoyment and to give them an understanding of how their lives compare with children who lived a century ago.

April 19, 2008: In Danny and Life on Bluff Point: The Conflict, conflict and change are definitely the key words. Life at Bluff Point has always been fairly peaceful. The people are normally friendly. Danny has lots of friends and family around. Everyone feels like part of the community. Unfortunately, even in Bluff Point, times are changing. Danny is getting older and he?s able to do a lot more on the farm. He has a lot more responsibility now. His oldest sister Ruthie is preparing to go to high school this fall so she?ll be living in town during the week. Soon enough, Danny will have to make the same decision. It?s been 30 years since the Civil War but in this installment Danny finds out that not everyone has let those old feelings settle. A man by the name of Mr. Overhouser has moved into the community from the South. Without even getting to know the man, people immediately start taking sides about if he should be welcomed or not. Doing the right thing isn?t always easy and sometimes it takes something really bad before people stop and think about what they are doing.
