No Journey Too Far by Carrie Turansky - A Book Review

   

It was interesting to continue the story of the McAlister family which began in No Ocean Too Wide. While No Journey Too Far would work as a stand-alone read, the reading experience is richer if one reads the books in sequence. This book focuses on Garth and Grace who along with their sister, Katie, were mistakenly taken from England to Canada as Home Children. Turansky does a wonderful job of educating her readers about the challenges faced by British Home Children, especially those caused by prejudice. While I did enjoy the story, I did wonder if the economic needs of the characters were too easily dismissed or solved, making parts of the story a bit unrealistic. That, however, did not greatly impact my enjoyment of the story.

I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of No Journey Too Far from Multnomah via NetGalley without obligation, and to have the opportunity to serve on the Launch Team for this book. All opinions expressed here are my own.
