Arizona, December 1943. After surviving perilous six-month journeys to 1889 and 1918, the Carsons, five siblings from the present day, seek a respite in their home state. While Adam and Greg settle down with their Progressive Era brides, Natalie and Caitlin start romances with wartime aviators and Cody befriends a Japanese family in an internment camp. The time travelers regroup, bury old ghosts, and continue their search for their missing parents. Then old problems return, new ones emerge, and a peaceful hiatus becomes a race for survival. In INDIAN PAINTBRUSH, the sequel to RIVER RISING and THE MEMORY TREE, seven young adults find love and adventure as they navigate the home front during the height of World War II.

What would you do for love?

Indiana Paintbrush by John A. Heldt is a great book. The Carson siblings find themselves in the middle of World War 2 and are trying not to get drafted. That is the challenge from them along with of course finding their parents.

What I like:

• That the girls got to be a lot of the main focus this time. That was new, and I love it a lot.
• Natalie didn’t go in as a reporter anymore and worked with her younger sister Caitlin.
• Caitlin got to have a love interest this time around. That was new, and I liked it a lot, but I do feel bad for her.
• Cody is trying to be helpful even if it doesn’t seem like he is.
• The parents are trying to understand their children and where they would go.

What I don’t like:

I didn’t like that the Carson family can’t seem to stop getting into trouble. Well mostly that Greg can’t. That Natalie can’t seem to catch a break and that poor Caitlin has to deal with heartbreak. Those two deserve so much more than what they got. Well, Caitlin does since if you’ve read the book, you know that another Carson sibling has found their true love. The last thing that I didn’t like is that their parents can’t seem to find their kids. But all of this leaves room for the next book in the series.

Five Star

Indiana Paintbrush by John A. Heldt much like the first two books in the series is another excellent page-turner. I wanted to know more and more even though I don’t really like World War 2. Although, the war seems much different reading about it in a book than learning about it in History class. I do feel bad for some of the characters since they have to go through some heartbreak. I can’t wait to read the next installment in this series. I am giving it a five-star rating and recommending it to anyone that likes a book with history, romance, time travel, and drama.

Anyways until the next time enjoy this review brought to you by,
