Reviews

The Betsy-Tacy books were among my favorites when I was growing up. --Nora Ephron, Academy Award-nominated director

Slipping into a Betsy book is like slipping into a favorite pair of well-worn slippers: It's always a pleasure to live in Betsy's world for a little while, to experience her simple joys, but also her (thankfully short-lived) sorrows. --Meg Cabot, New York Times Bestselling Author
