Trading Secrets by Melody Carlson is a cute, young
adult book that is a relatively quick read. Micah has been pen pals with an
Amish boy for the past 6 years, and when she thinks about going to visit him,
she immediately has concerns that he will find out her secret…that Micah is not
a boy! This was such a cute concept, and I really liked the interaction between
an “Englisher” and an Amish person (Zach). Also, I liked that Zach and Micah
really forged a great bond from their letter writing. Throughout the difficult
times in their life, they were able to rely on each other.
I think most
teenagers would really enjoy reading this book, as well as learning about the
lifestyles of their Amish counterparts. In addition to being an entertaining
concept, the characters in the book were both very likeable. I would definitely
be interested in reading more about Micah and Zach in the future.
