Imagine you are a teenaged girl whose curiosity has taken over and you end up inside a cold forbidding well? Thats how thirteen-year-old Zoe feels in the novel Dark Well of Decision by Anne Kimberly. Being a teenager is pretty harsh on Zoe, and when she ends up trapped in a well she is suddenly nursed out of hypothermia by a bunch of five-inch descendants of God, which is when life gets even crazier. She adjusts to life in this miraculous world of Gods miniature creatures, but Zoe realizes that evil captors are gnawing into a safety rope called Jasper. Zoe believes that there is a God, but she doesnt know of the dangers of the devil she is about to face in Dark Well of Decision.
I didn't find Dark Well of Decision as appealing I had intended to, even though I did enjoy the ending quite a bit. The beginning and middle of the novel were a bit boring, and I had to continue reading to let the meanings really sink in and tie everything together. The novel is Christian-based and focuses on good defeating evil. The age level should be lowered to about 7-10 rather than 9-12, because the plot seemed juvenile. Bits and pieces were boring, but the climax drew 100% of my attention.
