The Rachel Yoder Series is one of my FAVORITE series. It’s
filled with humor, fun, and trouble. But I haven’t been able to read them all
‘til Adelaide lent me some of the books. So with this book report, I hope YOU
will go and get these books and read them!

About The Characters:
Rachel: A very active, trouble-some, 9/10 year-old girl who
always, no matter if she’s doing something good or not, always end up in trouble.
Mary: Rachel’s favorite cousin who does most everything
with her trouble-some cousin, but doesn’t end up in trouble.
Jacob: Rachel’s 11 year-old brother who is always teasing
Rachel by calling her a bensel (silly
child. And never, ever ends up in trouble (well, not as often as Rachel).
Henry: Rachel’s 16 year-old brother who teases, but not as
much as Jacob.
Esther: Rachel’s 19
year-old sister, who is engaged.
Rudy King: Whom Esther is engaged to.
Mom: Rachel’s mother who is stern, but always loving.
Pap: Rachel’s
father who is fun, loving, and just as stern as Rachel’s mother.
Cuddles: Rachel’s
fun, active lil’ kitten (sometimes where trouble startsJ)
Tom: Sometimes referred
to ‘Old Tom’ is the Yoder’s carriage horse. A kind, loving ole’ thing.
What I think about the book:
Like I said above,
this book is filled to the rim with trouble, humor, and fun. Anyone should enjoy this book (series). Especially,
if you like Amish stories and characters.
Humor: Humor is the
main thing, basically, in this story. Humor is mostly from the beginning of the
trouble.
Trouble: Trouble is probably my favorite part in this book.
The trouble sometimes is the humor of it all.
Fun: This book can be so fun you have it with you all the time (me). It is totally gripping.
What’s On The Back:
Look
out,
Lancaster
County!
School’s
out! And so is an energetic Amish girl with trouble
following
close on her barefooted heels! When nine-year-old
Rachel
Yoder isn’t bringing frogs to church or taking wild
buggy
rides, she’s setting fireflies free and trying out new
skateboards
in all the wrong places. Will Rachel’s friends and
family survive the mischief she brings into
their live-and
will
Rachel learn any life lessons along the way?
I would recommend this for elementary reader level. The
only thing is that there is Pennsylvania Dutch, BUT there is a glossary at the
beginning.
But I’m in
middle-school and still LOVE the series so maybe other middle-school girls
would like it too.
Enjoy,
