Lucy Doesn't Wear Pink (Faithgirlz! / A Lucy Novel) [Paperback]

Nancy Rue (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 9 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up | Series: Faithgirlz! / A Lucy Novel

Growing up is hard when you don't have a mother---but God helps Lucy find her way. Lucy is a feisty, precocious tomboy who questions everything---even God. It's not hard to see why: a horrible accident killed her mother and blinded her father, turning her life upside down. It will take a strong but gentle housekeeper---who insists on Bible study along with homework---to show Lucy that there are many ways to become the woman God intends her to be. Lucy's bossy, career-minded Aunt Karen thinks eleven-year-old Lucy needs a woman's influence. Enter Inez---a housekeeper with a will as strong as Lucy's---and her granddaughter Mora, a girly-girl who is Lucy's polar opposite. Will the girls ever find common ground? Inez just might have the answers when she teaches them the story of Ruth and Naomi.

This review is from: Lucy Doesn't Wear Pink (Faithgirlz! / A Lucy Novel) (Paperback)

I really love the FaithGirlz series and I especially like the books about Lucy. Lucy has had troubles in her life, but she tries to overcome them. This book shows you how God's word can help you feel better when you are sad. I think this is a great series for young girls.

This book is a fun read whether you're 12 or 40. There are underlying messages in the story, but it's not preachy. It's well written to the point where you almost feel like you're there with Lucy watching everything unfold. This book offers a lot of "perspective".
