Imagine you are a teenaged girl whose curiosity has taken
over and you end up inside a cold forbidding well? That's
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
God's 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 doesn't know of the
dangers of the devil she is about to face in Dark Well of
Decision.
Opinion:
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.
