Look Inside the Book or Listen on Audible*

Huguenot Garden is a children's story of the daily and adventurous episodes in the lives of Rene and Albret Martineau, young twin sisters in a seventeeth-century, French Protestant family. This entertaining but moving story follows the twins and the rest of the Martineau family as they work, worship, commune, and suffer persecution together. This short novel by Douglas Jones aims to portray the ideas and historical details common to Huguenot life in La Rochelle, France, 1685, a tragic year whose final quarter brought the full wrath of Louis XIV.

What People Are Saying:

Winner of the C.S. Lewis Noteworthy Book Award, 1995

"Rich with details from the calamitous days of the Reformation in seventeenth-century France, the story opens our eyes to the personal passions and the human sacrifices that were necessary to enliven the principles of liberty.... Read this inspiring story aloud to your children. Then, read it again by yourself." -George Grant, World magazine

"The book serves as a gentle, kid-level introduction for children to the ungentle theme of persecution, which could have been quite a fearful subject, but does so without scaring them, being neither sugar-coated nor too graphically horrific. The author has chosen to underscore God’s faithfulness rather than the tyranny of men." -Homeschool Book Review

Was hopeful…
Was hoping this version would be better, but no. Welcome to the Nite Ize repair center. The pictures show the old version run by LED batteries. Although they claim the balls are waterproof, no. I’ve learned to clean out the contacts and add new batteries to reuse them, but a lot of the time the rust has already formed. The new rechargeable version is more expensive and has the same ‘waterproof’ casing. First charge was good; second charge didn’t even last for our retrieving sessions one evening. Third session on a full Charge didn’t even last one session. Too much money for the quality. When they work - they are great. Unfortunately, still the best on the market, it it’s just like throwing away money. Innovators???

Works Great! Very bright
My dog and I really love this ball. Bought this so we can play in the field behind our house at night. Tried other balls, like the glowing ones, but they're not bright enough. Other battery powered balls don't stay on long enough and I got tired of looking for them in the dark. This one stays on, depending on the switch setting, either 5 minutes, or indefinitely until it's shut off or until the battery dies. The battery, according to the instructions, should last 10 hours before needing recharging. I've charged it once when it was received, haven't had to re-charge it yet, played with it about 7 nights now 20 min each time and it's still going. Others have said it's not very durable, but I've found it to be durable enough to play catch with our border collie, haven't had any issues. but I don't let him chomp on it all he wants, just throw it and he brings it back. I suppose if your dog is an aggressive chewer and you let him just sit there and go to town on it, it won't last very long, just like any other ball. We use this ball only at night when needed, and use cheaper balls at other times to increase its life span.

THIS IS A MUST-BUY! If you have a dog--you NEED this ball!
Color: Orange
We have two 18-month-old chocolate Labs (brothers—basically twins with paws). The best time to walk them is early morning or just before dark… which is exactly how we managed to lose approximately 9,472 tennis balls in our cornfield. RIP, brave yellow soldiers. So I went searching for a ball that didn’t just glow—I wanted one that full-on lights up like a tiny dog disco. Enter this LED ball. Game. Changer. Our walks are now way more fun. The ball bounces, flashes, and changes colors like it’s auditioning for a rave. People literally slow their cars as they drive past our field just to watch the light show. I’m not saying we’re local celebrities now… but I’m not not saying that either. And here’s the real magic: when the boys get distracted and abandon the ball (because squirrel), it stays lit so I can actually find it. We also bought a ball launcher from Walmart for about $9, and the LED ball fits perfectly—same size as a tennis ball, just 100x cooler. This ball is waterproof and mostly floats, although I haven’t been brave enough to throw it into the pond or river because I’m positive my dogs would treat that as a full-scale navy search mission and never find it again. It’s easy to charge, and even with 2–3 hours of walking daily, I only have to plug it in every few weeks. We’ve had it for months now and it’s still going strong—super durable. We don’t let them chew on it off-walk (because Labs), but during fetch? It’s a champ. Also—small but hilarious detail—when they catch it, their mouths light up. I have accidentally created glow-in-the-dark dogs. I love this ball so much I’m buying a backup because life without it is not an option. Best dog toy EVER. Whoever invented this deserves a medal, a parade, and a lifelong supply of tennis balls they’ll never lose again. 🐾💡

DISAPPOINTED
Color: Blue
only lasted 3 months after about a dozen uses. The LED core fell out and now it's totally useless. Not worth the cost at all. Disappointed because my dogs really loved them.

Dog is obsessed with this.
The spa works as intended it lights up at night, which is super helpful for short winter days and for when the snow starts to pile up, it illuminates the snow pile that dog dropped it in so I can find it. I haven’t actually charged it yet. It came fully charged and has been in use for over a week without needing a recharge. We only use it on outside excursions together. I keep it in my pocket on walks in case he needs something in his mouth or an incentive to run a little off leash. I like that there are two settings to the light which I didn’t notice when I ordered it. One will shut off after five minutes of inactivity to save battery, which is really convenient so I don’t have to keep on screwing it to turn it on and off or there’s a second setting where the light stays on until you manually turn it off. We have it on the battery saving mode and we have never lost it. Overall, a really fun toy that even the neighbors, tiny dog who can barely pick it up and enjoys. It’s not really soft for like chewing, but that also means he’s not going to destroy it. It is a heavy ball to throw, but not too bad. One of my favorite purchases for this puppy.
