The Good Deed Crew and the Pumpkin Surprise (Grace Notes Book 1) Kindle Edition

Addy, Ty, Jenny and Shaun (The Grace Notes Quartet) are always up to something, something good that is! When a young boy is injured in a hayride accident, the musicians go undercover as The Good Deed Crew and plot a plan of kindness for his family. Can the friends keep the pumpkin surprise a secret? Or will their cover be blown?

A breath of fresh air in a world of self-focus, the Grace Notes series sets a new example of humility for kids today. While performing as Grace Notes-a successful traveling children's string quartet-the four young players encounter crazy fiascos and discover the needs of those around them. Under the secret name of The Good Deed Crew and with the help of Addy and Jenny's Grammy E, the kids go out of their way to fill those needs, serving and loving those in their hometown of Tigothee Falls, set in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

Christian author Kendra Parks has written this children's performing arts fiction series to bring more positive messages about humility and faith to young readers. Prayers are not edited out!

Additionally, Mrs. Parks draws on her own decades of experience as a musician (violinist) and teacher for her writing. Names of famous composers and classical music pieces are included and can easily be looked up and played for your young reader!

Grace Notes is an excellent beginning chapter series you can hand to your kids with confidence. The chapters are short and the Christ-centered message is clear.

Kendra Parks is the author of the uplifting beginning chapter book series "Grace Notes" and "Seen: 40 Days of Biblical Encouragement for Moms to Feel Seen."

She is currently working on her Masters in Theological Studies, has a B.A. in Communications/Journalism, and grew up reading books in trees and playing her own violin in a traveling string quartet.

Her heart in writing the Grace Notes series was to create delightful uplifting stories centered around her love of music with moments of real-life faith included rather than edited out. She hopes young readers identify with and emulate these characters, knowing that God has amazing plans for their lives and that they can do great things in a humble way, regardless of their age (1 Tim. 4:12).

As a little girl, she started writing out God's Word in a pocket-sized blue diary with a lock on it. She didn't realize then the power of securing God's Word into her heart. She now sees that God was planting seeds of faith that would shape her worldview, hold her up through life's challenges, and be her lifeline throughout motherhood.

She wrote SEEN out of a desire to remind Mamas that God SEES their deep heart-love and service within the walls of their homes - and that IT MATTERS and has eternal impact! As a homeschooling mother of four, she has discovered the peace of living this realization and prays you do as well. She is so grateful to know God and longs for you and your family to know His love.

She currently lives, loves, creates and writes on the edge of a whimsical forest with her best friend/husband Jason (also a writer), their four brilliant dreamers, and a fluffy, tail-wagging pup.

She is often found steeping in tea and books - usually with a child in her arms or on her back. Find her on Instagram: @kendraparksauthor

Besides the editing mistakes, 9 year old avid reader did not care for the writing because it was hard to follow and mundane.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, clean fun for kids!

It's refreshing to pick up a book to read to my kids and not have to worry about language or situations I don't want them exposed to. The kids in this books are good role models. As homeschoolers, it was also fun to read a book about kids who homeschool and participate in things like orchestra just like the main characters! If you're looking for an easy read with a good moral, I would recommend this book. :)

This is a fabulous book for low level readers, or those who are around 8 years old. The story line is good.
