Gracious Reviews: Laylie's Daring Quest

Laylie’s Daring Quest is a book in the Life of Faith series. Laylie and her brother Luke are African-American slaves from the 1830s. They work at a plantation in South Carolina.

Laylie Colbert is a very outgoing girl who is not afraid to take risks. One of Laylie’s biggest challenges is to come to know Christ, but when she becomes Millie’s slave, very interesting and new things happen. What I like about Laylie the most is her bravery. It doesn’t matter to her if she is a slave, she acts herself no matter what happens. She stands up for what she thinks and never gives up.

My two most favorite parts about this book is when Laylie’s brother Luke had to wrestle an alligator. Isaac their preacher came running down to help Luke because he knew Luke was not a Christian and he didn’t want him to die. This part of the chapter was really exciting. It left you hooked and all you wanted to do was read more to find out if Luke lives. My other favorite part is how Laylie grows through difficult times. If you read this book, you won’t believe how she changes from the beginning to the end.


I recommend this book to people who want exciting, but emotional books. You will learn how to overcome fears and also learn about slavery and what it means to be free.
