John Luke Robertson, the oldest son of Willie and Korie Robertson and brother of Dancing with the Stars sensation Sadie Robertson, shares his story of what it's like to grow up as a Robertson and all the fun and craziness that entails, as well as what he has learned as he has stepped out into his own unique experiences.

Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal

12/01/2017
Gr 7 Up—John Luke is the oldest son of Korie and Willie Robertson of the Duck Dynasty reality TV show. Married at 19 to Mary Kate McEacharn, he is a voracious reader. When something inspires him, he jots it down and saves it in his Spiritual Tool Box, a wooden box to which he often returns. John Luke credits his optimism, kindness, and generosity to his strong Christian faith. He often quotes the Bible, beginning with Philippians 5:14, "I continue my pursuit toward the goal, the prize of God's upward calling in Christ Jesus." John Luke's words may very well find a receptive audience in young people looking for someone and something to believe in. Voice actor Caleb Cooper captures the youthful enthusiasm of John Luke, which may prove persuasive to a teen audience. VERDICT Recommended for its name recognition and Christian message.—Mary Lee Bulat, Harwinton Public Library, CT
