I'm a new Sawyer fan after reading this book, Oct 26 2011
By Notta_Sunflower - Published on Amazon.com
This is an awesome Christian YA fiction book. This is the first book that I've read by Sawyer, and I'm excited to read other books by her and especially the other books in this series.I'll be recommending this series to other people looking for a good clean book for their kids or themselves to read.

Katy's Homecoming, July 7 2011
By ~Prism~ - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Katy's Homecoming (Paperback)
Katy's Homecoming by Kim Vogel Sawyer is the third book in the four-part Katy Lambright series, which follows the teen life of Katy as she leaves her Old Order Mennonite community to take part in the "worldly" high school. I've reviewed the first book here and the second book here.In this book, Katy is becoming more and more torn between the two worlds she is a part of. When Katy is selected to be a part of the homecoming court, her resolution to stay Mennonite wavers as she longs to fit in, even if its just for one night. The glitz and glamor may seem normal to the teens at school, but her beliefs prohibit such things. The fact that her crush, Bryce, might even ask her out to the dance isn't helping much either. Katy must decide whether she wants to attend homecoming and abandon her beliefs or stick with them, even if it means she could be scorned.
The author brings relevant themes from the Katy books. Sure, most of us aren't Mennonites, but as Christians, we are called to be separate from the world. That means doing what's right when it may seem so hard. That is the theme of this book. The characters are still charming and the setting of the Mennonite community really is fascinating.
I found this book a little less interesting than the previous two books, however. Katy's "friends" are a little pushy when it comes to whether Katy holds to her convictions or not. The relationship with Bryce seems a little odd, but it'll be interesting to see what happens in the next book.

A glimpse into another world, May 3 2011
By Christine M. Irvin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Katy's Homecoming (Paperback)
Katy Lambright is a Mennonite girl going to a public high school. As such, she is constantly exposed to ideas and concepts that are totally foreign to her.Katy's Homecoming, written by Kim Vogel Sawyer, is the third book in the Katy Lambright Series. In this episode, Katy is introduced to the concept of a homecoming dance. She wants to go to the dance for several reasons: It sounds like fun; she's never been to a dance before; she's been chosen to represent her sophomore class; and she's been asked to the dance by Bryce, a boy she has a crush on.
However, dancing is strictly forbidden in her Mennonite order. So, Katy has some tough choices to make, choices that will determine how she responds to the pressures of the modern world.
What I Like: Everything. I especially liked reading about what is must be like to be a part of the Mennonite culture.
What I Dislike: Nothing.
Overall Rating: Excellent.
Age Appeal: Young adult.
