Book Review: Teddy's Button

Teddy’s Button is a wonderful tale set in England in the 1800s and published in 1890. Teddy is a fun loving boy with a penchant for storytelling, but his favourite story is the one of his most prized possession...a button from his father’s soldier’s uniform and the brave heroics of his father on the battlefield. One day though he’s challenged over the authenticity of the story by a little girl whose father is serving in Her Majesty’s Royal Navy.

This story tells the tale of Teddy and Nancy and the friendship that develops after a rocky start. It also tracks the coming to faith of a young boy, serving his “Captain” (Jesus) and the constant struggles with his worst enemy – himself. 

Full of rich characters and language not heard in today’s novels, this story will delight any adult or child that loves a great story full of adventure, fun and the imagination of a little boy who wants to be a soldier for God and tries so hard not to get himself into trouble. A great read that you won’t want to put down.
