This captivating story is about a ten-year-old girl who is
trying to prove if God is real or not. Her dad died in Iraq the year before and
now she wants to know if she’ll ever see him again. Prince Tennyson was his
nickname because of how dashing he looked in his uniform—he was her handsome
prince. This is an endearing father-daughter story told through the eyes of a
ten-year-old. It is a story of overcoming trials, moving on, and finding not
only faith in yourself, but in a loving God as well.
I’ve read Jenni James’s Timeless Fairy Tale series and
enjoyed most of them, so when I saw she wrote a book about a little girl
searching for the answer to “is God real?” because she wants to see her father
who died in Iraq, I knew I wanted to read it. Especially when I saw the high
ratings it’s gotten, if only just under a hundred ratings on Goodreads. This
was a cute and simultaneously sensitive story about loss and the need to know
what’s next. Chelsea loved her Dad more than anything, and she has to figure
out how to help her mom smile again, make sure her two little siblings don’t
forget their Prince, and she desperately wants to know if she’ll get a hug from
her Dad again. It’s a faith-affirming and sweet book about family and love that
never ends. I liked it, but it was a little predictable (me having read a lot
of similar short stories).
