Eleven-year-old Callie Fleming is a passionate animal lover! She's been
waiting all year to enter photos in the I Love Nature Photo Contest. Her dad,
who is the coolest dad in the world, is an award winning photographer and
Marine Corps Reserves Sergeant. She is leaning on his help to win. But when her
father is untimely deployed overseas and becomes strangely silent to her
emails, she finds her whole world crashing down on her. Can she muster up the
faith and courage to step out on a journey that whisks her away from all the
things she loves? Join Callie on a journey of hope, trust and the power of
prayer!
CALLIE’S CONTEST OF COURAGE is about a modern day girl whose
daddy went overseas to fight. Callie is trying to win a photo contest to get a
zoo internship, and she wants her daddy’s opinion of her work. But Daddy
disappears from contact and her mom takes her and her brother to visit family
for awhile.
This was an engaging story that was real cute and easy to
read. I read it in a matter of hours. I enjoyed it except for one tiny thing; I
wanted Mickey to get back what he lost.

Thanks for your great review of this book Laura. I have a granddaughter who is 11 years old; she will be 12 in July. I think she would love this book. Her Daddy is in the Air Force and has had to spend time away from the family. It has been hard on Abby. Thankfully right now they are all together in Stockholm, Sweden where her Daddy is on special assignment with the US Embassy there.
Blessings!

I have never heard of this book. My daughter would love this! I am always on the look out for new books for her.
She a photographer? I'm a photographer! Very cool! I've never heard of this series before--I'll have to check it out!
