Book Reviews of Heaven to Betsy (Betsy-Tacy)
Book Review: "Buy Now Before It's Too Late!"
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a delightful, wonderful story. (Unfortunately, due to low sales, HarperCollins is not going to continue printing it. Truly a loss!) I highly recommend the book to any one who has enjoyed "Anne of Green Gables," the Little House books, "Little Women," and the American Girl series.
Through the book, we follow 14-year-old Betsy as she enters high school in 1906, gets use to living in a new house, becomes active at school, develops a social crowd and tries to makes friends with stand off-ish Joe. I love the period setting of the book and all the details of daily life at the time (especially fun is reading about the clothing worn and what went into getting ready for a big dance). The relationships presented in the story are so genuine, you feel that the characters really exist. And, many years after reading this book, I learned that the author based this and other books in the series on her own growing up years in Mankato, Minnesota.
I first read this book in 7th grade and was immediately and ever after enthralled. My library had only two other books by Maud Hart Lovelace, and I devoured those, longing for more. When I was 16, I received hardcover copies of Heaven to Betsy, Betsy in Spite of Herself, Betsy was a Junior, Betsy and Joe, Betsy and the Great World, and Betsy's Wedding. They are among my most treasured possessions.
