Teenage girls will love this series

Melody Carlson has long been known for her excellent fiction and this series is no exception. HARSH PINK is the last in the TRUECOLORS series. Originally from Boston, Reagan Mercer finds herself the new girl at Belmont High and quickly learns that making the cheerleading squad is about to cause her a whole lot of grief. Kendra Farnsworth doesn't take being bumped from the cherished spot very gracefully and does her best to make life at Belmont High miserable for Reagan. But then Kendra has a change of heart and starts being nice to Reagan, but what price will she have to pay to be accepted into the mean girls' club? In addition to her high school troubles, Reagan must help care for her aging grandmother who has been diagnosed with Alzheimers. Will having a Christian friend help Reagan make the right choices when push comes to shove? Teen girls will love the TrueColors series with its gripping storylines and humor. Ms. Carlson gets the Christian message out without smacking the reader over the head with it. Realistic characters and situations make each story come to life and helps encourage teens to survive tough situations in a rough world. Highly recommended!

Real Teen Faith in a Mean-Girl World

It's hard enough being a teen girl, but even harder when you've just moved cross-country and you make the cheerleading squad, knocking Miss Popularity from her long-time spot. Reagan Mercer has problems at home as well. Her grandmother has Alzheimers, and it's up to Reagan to take care of her while her single mom works long hours. In time, Reagan is invited into the inner circle, yet there's a steep price to pay for this mean-girl lifestyle. When a drinking party goes too far, Reagan has a choice to make - and having a new Christian friend helps. This is the last book in Melody Carlson's amazing True Colors series, touching on topics that connect with postmodern teens, showing them the power of real faith in a tough world. --Christian Women Online Book Buzz

Loved Regan Mercer

It's tough going to a new school, with a new set of cliques to figure out, but Regan Mercer knows how it works. She and her best friend from her former school developed a clissification system for rating friends. A, B, or C, with C being another word for desperation, and Regan's never been all that desperate. She tries out for cheerleading and beats Kendra Farnsworth, who apparently considers herself the reigning queen of Belmont High. Now Regan has real problems. Kendra isn't the kind to lose gracefully, and she sets out to make life miserable for her new enemy. Then suddenly Kendra changes and decides to be friendly, but most things carry a price tag, and this friendship is no exception. Regan has some serious choices to make. This is my first book in Melody Carlson's True Color series, and it's a book teenage girls will love. She gets her faith message across without being preachy, and the readers guide in the back of the book can open the way to a great discussion. I strongly recommend this one.
