5.0 out of 5 stars Struck Gold!, December 6, 2008

By	Gretchen "Grace" - See all my reviews

I'd been hearing about this series of books for a few months before I hesitantly bought one. I figured if nothing else, it would only be a few more dollars spent in my never ending pursuit to find something that both my daughter and I could agree was worthwhile. When "Friends, Boys, and Getting Along" arrived I just knew that I had struck gold! The cover was so pretty and each page was filled with words and graphics that both my daughter and I loved! Could such a thing really exist? I wanted to pinch myself. Okay, it may seem like I'm overreacting but if you're involved with any tweens in your home you'll know that over-reacting comes with the territory. Anyhow, my daughter soaked up being called a "daughter of the King" and if miracles really do happen, I saw them happen right before my very eyes. She seemed transfixed by the book and transformed by the message. She began asking me about saints and wanting her siblings to give her quiet time so she could work on her "plan." A plan, it turns out, that was about praying and building a relationship with God. It didn't take long before I ordered the second and then third book in the series. It seemed like an eternity before the fourth came out, which it finally did, and I've purchased it but stashed it away for a Christmas present. I've read reviews from homeschool parents to newspaper editors on this series and really wondered how books could have such a wide appeal. Now, it is clear to me that they have such a wide appeal because they speak truths that our daughters need to hear but in ways that bold and colorful and real. God bless these authors!

5.0 out of 5 stars Little Sis is lovin' it, January 22, 2009

My 12-year-old sister is homeschooled and I take charge of her instruction once a week, adding a class on Social Skills, Manners and Etiquette. This series has a bit of everything that I envisioned teaching her. I find some of the layout/pictures cheesy or too, how shall I put this, pink, but I probably would have loved it at her age. She thinks it is the coolest school book ever. Don't forget to get the journal. She likes it so much she brought it on our cruise!
