Andrea and the 5-Day Challenge Kindle Edition

Dear Lord,I need Your help and sooner would be better than later. Wouldn't you know it, just as soon as I decide to attempt the 5-Day Bible Study Challenge, my parents start heaping on loads of pressure to get me into Julliard. My friend Amy isn't any better, urging me to ask Luke Ryan to homecoming. As if the cute, transfer jock would actually go out with me. I mean, we're kinda friends, and I've enjoyed our Geometry study sessions, but in case Amy hasn't noticed, I'm the invisible one at Aubrey Christian Academy, and I like it that way. On top of that, I have a feeling Luke's concealing something behind those chocolate-brown eyes of his. I know I can be self-centered and a bit melodramatic, but I really do want to seek Your will for my life. Then maybe I'll even figure out which direction points up.Sincerely,Andrea JamisonHigh School JuniorChange-o-phobic & complete neurotic

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Hello Readers! I hope you will enjoy Andrea's story. This is Book 1 in the Aubrey Christian Academy Series. Here is a little bit about my main characters Andrea & Luke.

Andrea considers herself to be the least interesting of her group of friends. In her mind, she isn't smart like Amy or artistic like Angie or beautiful and popular like Alisha. She sees herself as that girl with the plain brown hair, size nine feet, and who doesn't participate much in school activities. She's a lot like most kids. I think the average person can relate to her. Except she does have this exceptional talent she likes to downplay. She's actually a wonderful pianist and her parents have all these designs to get her into a performing arts school so she can one day end up at a place like Julliard. In addition to that, Andrea has a sweet, caring spirit and this is something that Luke, our hero, notices right away. It sets her apart from every other girl at school in his eyes.

Then we have Luke, cute transfer student from California. Luke might be an all-star varsity baseball player, but he's not like the rest of the A-list kids. He's very down to earth and not looking for what's popular and cool. He's had to mature quickly. His family life is not the greatest. They've experienced a personal tragedy, and that's part of the reason why he latches on to Andrea early on. He sees something in her that every one else seems to miss. She has value and when they get together they just kind of have that spark.

Love to hear what the rest my readers think of Andrea & Luke! Join my newsletter and find out more about this series. cindykgreen.com

Great Christian Fiction!

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2020

I wouldn't give this book any less than five stars! As a young adult I have been searching for books that capture my attention and have nothing inappropriate in them. So far this is the first YA book to check both boxes. I was skeptical at first because it takes a lot to keep my attention on a book, but the drama, romance, and Biblical theme throughout the book had me glued to the story. The writing was very well done, and I loved how Andrea seemed like a REAL sixteen-year-old girl with REAL thoughts about her situations and REAL parents who want the best for their daughter. The book was great! I definitely encourage you to read this good Christian book!

Megan’s Thoughts:

The main reason I tried this story is because the excerpt on Amazon made me laugh—which is a big achievement. So I downloaded the novel with no real expectations other than I hoped it would be good enough to finish.

Long story short: It was!!!

Swept up into Andrea’s life, I laughed at a teenage girl’s humor (even though she doesn’t realize she’s funny), cringed at random daily life in high school, and shared sympathy as she struggles out of her comfort zone.

I totally loved the budding relationship between Andrea and Luke. Cute to watch as they both tackle their insecurities. They kept me anxious to see how it’d all would end.

Every girls’ name in Andrea’s circle started with the letter “A”. Originally, I thought this would be an issue throughout the book. I pictured myself struggling to figure out what A-name goes with which girl, but the author captured descriptive personalities, backgrounds, and quirks, making it effortless to associate names with each friend.

The interactions between Andrea and her parents were written in a way to view both sides of the story, showing that parents are in fact—humans. ☺ They can be wise and yet aren’t perfect either. However, I did think it odd for her mom to call her “daughter” during their conversations…?

The faith element weaved throughout the story well. Mostly found in the journaling sections, or in Andrea’s thought process, which never felt out of place.

Really super Christian YA

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2015

This is a delightful YA novel, the first I have read by Cindy K Green, and I am definitely impressed! Now I realize I'm somewhat past my teen years, but if I were a teen I would love this book. Oh, might as well admit it--I'm not that young but I still loved it.

Andrea Jamison is the typical awkward-feeling teen girl. Sixteen going fast on seventeen, she's pretty sure she's the ugliest girl in school, not to mention a dweeb of the most awfully boring life imaginable. She's not in the popular set--well, some of her friends are, but still. One of the four A's (Andrea, Amy, Angie, and Alisha) since the fourth grade, she was the most backward.

Yet Amy thought she, Andrea the Dork, should ask the most popular guy in the school, Luke Ryan, to Homecoming. Sure. Like if she ever dared to do that he wouldn't turn her down in a split second. Yes, they were friends, but no way would Luke think of her that way.

Besides, her parents didn't want her to date until she was eighteen. They wanted her to focus on the piano. The big recital is Saturday, the same day as Homecoming. Her parents believe she has a huge chance to go to one of the big musical schools, like Julliard, and representatives of a high school with a musical focus (there was that word again) would be there.

So you see, no way could she go with Luke. Not even if he asked her three times. Really.

Andrea and the 5 day Challenge: Cindy K Green ...

Andrea and the 5 day Challenge
: Cindy K Green

This is a YA Christian fiction. Andrea Jamison is almost 17 years old, a piano protegee and very sheltered. When she begins experiencing normal teenage emotions she freaks out.

From the daily life I see of teens and tweens, her behavior is more on a middle school level than high school.

It is a clean early romance that doesn't over preach, but little reminders are thrown in to let the listener know.

The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Leonor A Woodworth's voice was a little mature for this book, in my opinion.

"I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review."

A nice YA Christian fiction read!

This was a delightful YA contemporary book. Andrea's wishy-washy teen angst and the close bond with her friends was like traveling back to high school. It's so nice to see YA Christian fiction.

Great Book Club Choice

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2015

This is not a genre that I usually read, but I found myself very much enjoying Andrea and the 5-Day Challenge. She is such a relatable character! There were moments that I laughed out loud or groaned along in her awkwardness or shook my head at her well-intentioned friends. (If only I had had a "Luke" at my high school! Ha!) This is a well-written YA novel for the Christian young woman and provides lots of points for discussion. A group of us read this as part of a book club with teen daughters included and the discussions were excellent! I very much recommend this book for young women as well as their mommas, and I'm definitely looking forward to more books in this series! Thank you, Cindy K. Green, for writing such a fantastic, wholesome book for the young women in our lives. There is so much out there that is not worth the time of day for our daughters to read - but this is definitely a great one.
