Andrew

Hi.  We're Alfie and Benji, and we are the twin brothers of Andrew.  Our Mammi and Dawdy moved into our house with us after Dawdi had a stroke and Mammi needs to take care of him. When they moved in, our Mamm moved us to the cellar to sleep on an air mattress.  We have a new neighbor, Mary Coblenz, who lives with Bitsy and Yost.  She's going to have a buppli, and a lot of people in our gmayna don't like her because she doesn't have a husband.  Part of the reason we think Andrew would make a gut husband for her is that we'd get to move back upstairs, and out of the icky cellar. 

Being eight years old is kind of hard.  We have to be thinking of many ways to get Mary and Andrew together.  Even we can see that they do, and we are just little kids. Once Andrew stops messing it up, maybe he will see it too. 

Jennifer Beckstrand writes Amish fiction as though she were Amish.  Andrew is the first of a series of three books about the Petersheim brothers.  I imagine that Alfie and Benji will be a delightful part of the other two books. They did such a wonderful job with Andrew and Mary. 

I want to thank Kensington Publishing and NetGalley.com for allowing me to read and review this book.   It is a five star book, with two thumbs up, and a peanut butter honey ball.
