This is a cute, fun book for girls. I gave this to my 9 year old daughter - ok, she saw it and grabbed it from me and ran off with it if you want to know the truth. I had told her I thought she would like it and she was gone with it. The book has lots of questions to answer and word finds and places to put photos and tips and advice and a website to go with it. Becca has enjoyed filling it out with pens that have glittery ink and I have enjoyed that some of the questions are worded so that she has to ask me to answer them with her. We like the "hallelujah test" of whether a shirt is long enough - put your hands in the air and shout hallelujah, but Becca is tall and long waisted and she often fails that test. She likes the website too and is enjoying reading and filling out the book.
This is not a novel or story, but a book full of questionaires, and short bits of info. Becca is not through filling it out, and that is fine. I like that it is kind of like a diary and she enjoys filling it out a little bit at a time.
I highly recommend the book and think it is well done and fun for girls.

I don't remember being 11 years old, except that I was a full-blown bookworm (and New Kids on the Block fan) by then. It was all about being a girl, having crushes, writing notes to girlfriends in between classes, and swapping Sweet Valley High books.
Hot Chocolate with God, written by eleven-year-old Camryn Kelly with the help of her mom and older sister, is an ideal gift for young girls. It's targeting middle school readers, but I think this is a better fit for younger girls.
It's an activity book that's a lot like a slumbook (or slam book?), interspersed with Camryn's own personal stories and answers. It's also meant to be interactive--the website is full of video clips and other stuff to click on.
By the end of it, the reader has basically hung out with Camryn and become fast friends. More importantly, the book teaches the value of finding joy in who you are simply because God made you you. At a stage when competition among girls can be fierce and there is a great pressure to conform and fit in, this book is a good reminder for young girls to keep their focus on Christ.

Hot Chocolate with God: Just Me and Who God Created Me to Be by Camryn Kelly is a very interesting and creative book to read. I appreciate how it has not only scripture and insights into those scriptures, but the book is very interactive, wanting the reader to pause, reflect and JOIN in by journaling what their feelings are on certain matters, some serious, some self discovery, some are questions about your likes and dislikes. Hot Chocolate with God also has several different activities, such as word searches, Fill in the blanks, etc. This book is a great one to recommend to young ladies, even "tweens" as it helps you see your uniqueness not as a weirdness but as a God given and God blessed design.
