After the Bible, I needed something light and easy, and this one was the perfect choice from the remaining books on my 100 Book Challenge tally.
Swallows and Amazons is a children’s book first published in 1930, about four kids who go on a sailing adventure to an island where they camp for a week in the summer. It’s as long as an adult book, but much more fun. It had none of the heavy themes or complex language that most books have, and so I was able to simply sit back and enjoy. But that’s not to say I didn’t get anything from it – quite the opposite.
