The Worry Knot by Mary Bleckwehl – Review by Angela Hayes

The Worry Knot by Mary Evanson Bleckwehl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars

The Worry Knot by Mary Bleckwehl is a story aimed at middle school aged children, but I think it could be appreciated by readers of all ages. This story deals with childhood angst, ‘worries’ (anxiety), friendship, family dynamics, school life, challenges, and acceptance- while providing lessons along the way.
We follow 12 year-old Rourke, who is an extreme worrywart, as he experiences all the angst that comes with having so much anxiety, as well as all the other challenges associated with middle school life. Add in some mysterious neighbours, concern for friends, dysfunctional family dynamics, sibling bonds, trying to fit in, and other ‘worries’- and this story becomes a lesson for us all.
Well worth the read!

Thank you, Mary Bleckwehl!
