The Gold is the second book I have read by Krista Wagner, and after reading Intent I had very high hopes.The Gold had hints of Cinderella - Amanda's sister Jane orders her around when their father is away. I really felt for Amanda straight from the beginning. The characters were very well written, especially Amanda and Jane, even Shane. I got the impression that as Amanda grew in confidence and as a person, The Gold also grew. But I felt there was a deeper meaning or moral that I completely

This isn't my first Krista Wagner book and it won't be my last because I've always liked her stuff. I liked Amanda and really felt for her from the start. I connected with her and just wanted to hug her and protect her. I also created fantasy worlds to escape my own world so I really connected with this girl. I usually don't like reading books that I know are for younger audiences but in this case, I didn't mind. In fact, I think adults should read this book. Maybe it will teach them something
A very good tale about a young friendless girl who finds a small stone. The ending is very unexpected.
3.5 starsThis is an imaginative tale which would be perfect for young girls. Amanda's struggles are relatable. Wagner gives insight into a child's mind as Amanda tries to navigate through loss, disappointment, bullying, among other things. The characters are well-drawn, the storyline descriptive, and the pace appropriate. Themes of hope and restoration are key. Disclaimer: I received a complementary copy, but I wasn't required to leave a positive review.
