About the author

Hilda Stahl was an American author of middle grade and young adult novels, many of them in series. Most of her books are classified as Christian fiction.

Biography from one of her books: "Hilda Stahl was born and raised in the Nebraska sandhills. As a Young teen she attended Bible college, where she met her husband, Norman. They raised their seven children in Michigan, where she lived until her death in 1993. When Hilda was a young mother with three children, she saw an ad in a magazine for a correspondence course in writing. She took the test, passed it, and soon fell in love with writing. She wrote whenever she had free time, and eventually began to sell her work. The first Elizabeth Gail book, The Mystery at the Johnson Farm, was made into a movie in 1989. It was a real dream come true for Hilda. She wanted her books and their message of God's love and power to reach and help people all over the world.

Mine forældre fandt for nyligt denne serie af bøger frem fra loftet og gav dem til mig. Det er bøger, jeg læste tidligt i mine teenage-år. Jeg husker det som om, at de her bøger var nogle af mine første “kan-ikke-lægge-bogen-væk” oplevelser og har derfor været et springbræt til læselyst i de efterfølgende teenageår. Så de har alle fået 5 stjerner ❤️

I gave this book 5 stars and I will give all of them 5 stars.

I will agree with others that the writing is dated (written in the 80s I believe). I decided to re-read all of the Elizabeth Gail books this year. I'm in my 40s and as soon as I open the cover, I'm transformed back to my pre-teen/teen self who was mesmerized by the story unfolding. I was adopted as an infant and never faced the challenges of a foster child, but inwardly I always kind of felt like an unwanted kid purely because I was adopted. I believe that God ordered my steps and placed me in the family where I needed to be, but I sure did wish I lived on the Johnson farm with Elizabeth Gail and her family.

It was similiar to me as well again, why because what doesn't ever go my way I tend to quit. But in this case I actually kept it up and got better I think her biggest problem is she was jealous, and didnt know who to blame, plus were both adopted and we were both trying to find something in common to hold on to, to love for ourselves only. This character Libby closed her bedroom door and sat quietly on the bed, as tears began to slip down her cheeks and she covered her face with her hands, she would never play the piano again. Not after what had happened today! The part of her life was over. Libby Dobbs, the aid kid, didn't deserve to have a dream! In other words, I say I don't I don't deserved to be loved. She also has problems with boys too. Same with me. Nothing was the same anymore. Libby's dream was gone. Brenda had no time for her. Even Joe wilkins seemed more interested in Susan than in her! Libby was ready to give up, but God wasn't finished with her yet. Through a surprising series of events, he gave Libby new courage, a new friend, and a new understanding of herself.
There are 18 series with Elizabeth Gail so it doesn't stop there so keep on reading
