MRS. MILLIONAIRE AND THE RUNAWAY KIDS BOOK 4

With the desire and determination to give his four children a better life and restore the relationship with them after his wife’s death, James Curtis accepted a position as a supervisor at a textile company and moved to Connecticut. Things were great at his new job, but one coworker was spiteful and envious of him. He discredited James, causing him to lose his job. Unable to find work, James became depressed and looked to a bottle for relief. Because of an accident, he was left in a coma. Child Services took the children to a shelter until they could put them in foster homes. They planned to split them up and place them in two different houses. That chain of events made the children run away. Will James come out of the coma? Will the family reunite and be made whole again?

Short, but very well done

Nicely written story about a family’s journey after a devastating loss. Wish it were long but still, very enjoyable.

Wonderful Story

I greatly enjoyed reading through this short story. This was my first time reading a Mrs. Millionaire story, and I’m excited to explore the other titles in the series. The story was well thought out, and the characters were fun.

Kids would appreciate the adventure and twist of events

I feel that this book would keep younger reads excited along the storyline. There are sad parts and happy parts, with enough explanations for the child to relate to the events. It’s important for a children’s book to explain the implications of being fired; i.e. no more wages, running out of food and losing their residence. This book paints the scenes vividly to help the kid relate to the events being portrayed. The moral of the story is something I would want kids to absorb.

Happy Ending Fairy Tale

This is a short story book about a family’s tragedy, separation and ultimate reconciliation. We learn of the children’s determination to stay together and of the kindness of the family who helps the family reunite. It is a fun read.

A Good Beginner Novelette for Young Readers

Mrs. Millionaire and the Runaway Kids is a fast read, where the pieces fall together quickly. Marissa Marchan strives to inspire hope through dark circumstances. Positivity rules in Marchan’s story.

The best details in the book were the father’s down-hill slide. It allows the reader a glimpse of what circumstances may have played a part in a person’s life to leave them homeless. It inspires the reader to look at the down and out with empathy.Although I feel Marchan leaves a little on the table, I also realize the book is for young readers. Her heart for seeing the positive side of things shines through. Sending kids a message that there are people who care is a good thing. There are countless angels working behind the scenes every day in the world.

A greater attachment to the kids could’ve been created if Marchan would’ve articulated more physical details of each child, the heartbreak of the children from sudden losses, the hardships of being alone in a dangerous world.

All-in-all, Mrs. Millionaire and the Runaway Kids is a good beginner novelette for young readers.

A fun little flick

A fun little read in a much bigger series.

Hope and a Happy Ending

I liked that this book brought attention to the sometimes difficult reality faced by many families – loss, grief, hardship. There is also a message of hope here, siblings sticking together and persevering. And then there’s the fairytale ending which I suppose is a good thing, though if this book is intended for middle-graders I feel it can supply a mixed bag of messages that, while I appreciate the author has likely used her experience as a social worker to draw from, could be confusing for children of this age. Overall an engaging story that kept me wanting to know what happens.
