Miles Lawson : $b or, the Yews

"Miles Lawson; or, The Yews" by W. Reynolds Lloyd is a tale set in the countryside, probably from a while ago. It follows the Lawson family, especially Miles, as he navigates life with his mom and sister, Alice. The story looks at being responsible, sticking together as a family, and the fight between what's right and wrong when Miles starts making some questionable decisions. We're introduced to the beautiful Lawson home called "The Yews," with its pretty trees and cozy kitchen. Mrs. Lawson is the smart and religious mom, and her kids, including Miles, Alice, and young Mat, are really close. But there's a sense of trouble coming for Miles because he's hanging out with some suspicious people, which worries his family a lot. The story builds up the drama and gets ready to teach us about doing the right thing and the importance of family.
