If you are looking for an entertaining, engaging, and Catholic book series for teens, look no further than the Faith & Kung Fu series. The series follows Hollywood star Tanner Rose, and from the young age of fourteen, she is already corrupted by her movie-star lifestyle. In desperation, she is sent to live in a small country town in the middle of nowhere. As the story progresses, Tanner learns her mistakes and tries to fix her life with the help of Gabriel, a solid Catholic guy, into Kung Fu. By the end of the series, Tanner is eighteen trying to help others as she was helped learning more and more how to lead a good Catholic life.
The Faith and Kung Fu series is by far my favorite book series that I have read in 2021, and I am so glad that I found it! It is so hard to find an author who I trust to write good Catholic books appropriate for the age group written for, so finding T. M. Gaouette was terrific. This series was well written and felt very realistic, and I hope you all love it as much as I did! If you like Hollywood stars, great Catholic books, or romance, definitely check out the Faith & Kung Fu series. Check out my reviews for more details on each book and things to mention!!
