Customer Reviews

Eltzabeth Gail Is Great !

I think every girl should read at least one book, because they are great life lessons. She teaches us so many different things and it is really fun to read them too. From LEAH.

AWSOME!!!

I realy liked this book. Its about a girl named Libby who is a "wellfair kid". She has a little trouble at firs liking the Johnsons but soon shes very happy with them. The Johnsons taught her about the love of Christ. I couldnt stop reading the series. Im on book #5. I also like it because it is a mystery series! :)

Great series

I first read this book, as well as the whole series, back when I was a kid in the 80s. I would highly recomend this book/series for any preteen girl. There is a good mix of suspence along with Biblical principals. This book is a good reminder that God loves everyone, even the kids that no one wants. They are not beyond His care. It also shows the power of prayer and the fact that nothing is impossible for God. This is an excellent book/series.

Loves the Series

I think that this book is a great book. It shows that you shouldn't always jump to conclusions. Also that not everyone's perfect. In fact no one is! It tells me what it must be like to have a mother who doesn't take care of you. It shows that even the most godly people can get mad or jealous. I've always loved these series. Even if this review isn't much help, you should at least try it.

enjoyed the book when I was younger

I read the Elizabeth Gail books when I was 11 years old, and even though I'm 18, I still remember them fondly. They really opened up my eyes about what life could be like for a foster child. This book is good because it is realistic. It doesn't make anybody look like a saint and it shows that even Christians get mad at other people. I hope everyone enjoys the series as much as I did.
