I read Evergreen Castles many times in elementary school... many many years go. This book had a profound impact on my life and faith--in fact, this is the book that led a broken child's heart to the throne, by way of a conversation between Jennifer Pepper and "Aunt" Sheila. That conversation introduced me to the personal intervention of the Savior I already believed in, but had yet to call my own.

My only complaint about this series is a teensy one, but one that bugged me to no end as a preteen reader: in Evergreen Castles, Jennifer's middle name is Joy. In subsequent books it is Jean. I preferred the original. But... regardless of that tiny complaint, this book will always hold a special place in my hard and the very very worn copy of it is still on my shelf. :)

This was a childhood favorite, read many times in my pre and early teen years.
I'm not sure quite what it was that kept me coming back, but the kids' adventures and their impressive and much covetted tree fort always fascinated me. I don't even remember which country they lived in: I think all their parents were missionaries and I assume they were in South America... anyway, it's a great book for pre-teens, highly recommended.

My dad read this book to my sisters and I when I was young, and I recently read it to my sons. They seemed to enjoy it almost as much as I did!
