The story was interesting and fun.
By Melanie
A Simple Song was better than I had expected. Amish Fiction is not a genre I read often, because the blurbs/stories usually don't interest me, but I'm glad I finally read this one.
The story was interesting and fun. I really liked the singing competition aspect to A Simple Song. It reminded me of American Idol, which I think was the point, so it was neat to get a glimpse into what it might be like to be a contestant.
While I had thought A Simple Song was going to be very predictable, I was glad when some things didn't turn out as I had originally expected. I didn't, however, like the ending. I don't think this book is a part of a series, so I felt the ending shouldn't have left certain questions unanswered.
Overall, I enjoyed A Simple Song. Not everything in the story seemed believable to me, but it was still a fun read in spite of that. If you typically enjoy YA and/or Amish novels, you might like A Simple Song. It was a quick, easy read.

My Review:
Kristina Yoder has the voice of an angel and she loves to sing but her strict Amish community forbids singing as vainglory so she must keep a cap on her voice which is difficult for her. They do have Saturday night singings where teens on their rumspringa can tests the waters of the English world without trouble from their parents or community, so Katrina was able to sing to her hearts content.
Her best friend Bekka had been secretly watching a television show called American Star on her computer where people between the ages of 18 and 30 competed to win big sums of money for their singing voices. She knew Katrina could win hands down.
Bekka approaches Kristina about the popular television show but Katrina isn't sure she wants to push her family that far, but then realizes how sick her Dad is and that the money would pay for the surgery he most desperately needs. She prayed about it, thought about it, and talked to her Aunt Alma about it and finally decided that she would do it. Bekka helped her sign up on the computer and before she knew it she was on her way to Cleveland for the first portion of the show.
However, once there she didn't realize that she'd be expected to dress differently, have her hair styled differently, wear make-up and such and had to do some deep soul searching to decide whether she could give up what she truly believed in for a television show.
A Simple Song was a beautifully written story that showed the courage, strength and maturity of one young girl who had a gift to share with the world and found a way to share it without compromising everything else she believed in. Just beautiful!!
I would like to say a big thank-you to Graf-Martin for sending me this copy!

Another great story from Melody Carlson
By Brenda C
I have been a fan of Melody Carlson for years. She does a wonderful job of pulling me into whatever story she is writing, making me understand the characters and whatever they might be going thru.
"A Simple Song" is the story of Katrina Yoder. She has always enjoyed singing, but in her Amish world it is a sin, and therefore it is forbidden.Katrina's friend Bekka has been watching a show called American Star and really thinks that Katrina should try out for the show. For Katrina though the reason to step out into the Englisher world is more complicated than that. Her father needs to have surgery, and "American Star" just might be the way that Katrina could win the money, and since she hasn't been baptized into the church yet, she will go while on her rumspringa. What will her parents and community say? Will they accept her back into the community, and if she wins the money will her parents accept it! Can an Amish girl stay true to her roots while thrust into the Englisher spotlight! Read this page turning story to find out!
I found "A Simple Song," to be a nice, quick read that is filled with interesting characters that are easy to like. I could easily understand Katrina and the choices she made. I thought it was interesting how her grandfather encouraged singing at her grandmother's funeral. The reason that was revealed was touching and allowed me to further understand Katrina's story. I found the behind the scenes descriptions of "American Star" interesting, and while I kind of knew how things might work out it was still fun to see how Melody Carlson would allow things to work out! Overall, this fun little read, is great for teens but also a quick read for adults who enjoy Amish fiction as well.
A complimentary copy of this book was provided for review.
