Starting school in a new place is always hard, but I really love Jennifer's attitude. While she worries maybe a little about looking right and fitting in, she laughs about it when her clothes turn out to be the wrong thing, and isn't afraid to be who she is. Definitely admirable.
She still sometimes seems very young for her age, but I can overlook that for the rest of the story. Again, there's not a whole lot of plot here, but instead we get to live Jennifer's life with her - just as it is for a time. That's what makes these books special and fun.
We got a little preachy here about her coming to Christ, but again, I'm willing to overlook that too because it's important to the story and not just a tacked in altar call (which we see too often in Christian fiction).
My only real compliant? What's up with all the words in italics? That's really distracting and I wish the publisher /editor / whoever was responsible hadn't done that.
