Reviews

[Kristina Pauls (ARC Reviewer)]

[Comments/Review years after reading] Janette Oke is a solid cozy, easy read, and her books are easily re-readable over and over again. They are great books to read when your mind is struggling to focus and you need to get away into another time and place, while still enjoying a story. I love all of her books and have reread most of them 2x at least. They are all very clean in every way.

[Carrie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love Janette Oke's books, and especially enjoyed this series, as it showed real-life and timeless challenges faced by young people in life and love, but is grounded with the protagonist making solid choices based on her faith in God. Even when her friends go astray and she is tempted to follow, she sets a good example for readers with her decisions and her treatment of others. I can't wait for my tween daughter to read them!

Fun, quick read. A real page turner.

Browsing the library looking for something to read, this book caught my attention as a good story. It turned out to be a great story for teenage girls and a good quick read.
