Reviews
There are few books of this genre around and Horne's book is one that Christian teenagers will find engaging and helpful as they weave their way through this complex period of their lives. The story is warmly told with touches of both humour and pathos. - Anglican News review 'This is a delightful book about becoming a teenager, and the way that life, love, and religion play a role in day to day life. - Eileen Manning, online reviewer Comments by young readers aged 10 to 13 I read the story about Olivia and I love it I don't often read these types of books but I thought that 'Olivia's Teenage Challenge ' was amazing! The book wasn't boring because it had many activities and had suspense throughout the book. I thought the story was written very well. Many chapters have adventures so I stayed interested. I was really impressed. This is an accurate account of a teenage girl's life. I loved it. It is a great book. This book is all about me!
