Review of Christy Miller Collection Volume One by Robin Jones Gunn 4 Stars!!!

This is an excellent book! In my opinion this series is very relatable to tween and teen girls of any age and background. The characters are all very realistic and likable. I really liked how faith and having a relationship with God were such prominent aspects of these first three books of this series. These books are excellent examples of learning life lessons and finding true forever friends! But best of all teens will learn that their commitment to and love for God ALWAYS comes first! These books have a timeless quality about them and in my opinion will never be out of print, as they will continue being excellent reads for teen girls! This was my first time reading books by this author, but I really liked her writing style! I highly recommend this series to all teens, in this day of very impure young adult books, these are books that their parents will approve of!!!
