Just another fun middle-grade book about the Baxter family. This is the third in the series so far and I think there might be more coming. I really enjoy this quick, fun reads. Ashley is quite funny and dramatic and gets her words mixed up. Kari is energetic and creative as well, though a bit more subdued than Ashley. The books usually revolve mostly around these two sisters though the rest of the siblings are included.

I look forward to when my daughter is old enough to read these on her own. I would say around 8 or so would be a good age to start reading these books, but that's just a guess. I think she would enjoy them now if I would read them to her, but she couldn't read them alone yet.

My only gripe with these books is everyone is too perfect. The parents never get mad, the children are usually well-behaved, mischievous yes, but good attitudes prevail, etc. But still the overall read is very fun.

I received this book from Simon and Schuster via NetGalley and was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for the r-ARC of this middle grade novel.

This is the third book in Karen Kingsbury’s “Baxter Family” series. These books are quick reads that follow the five Baxter children. The series continues to be a good one for families seeking books where the characters’ faith is important to them. I only wished this book had spent more time with Erin and Luke as this one focuses primarily on the older three girls.

I love the Baxter family. I have read all the books in the series. These children's books are the best also. We see all the Baxter children when they are young and experiencing things that kids still experience today. Being the new kid in school, making friends, deciding what they want to be when they grown up and being somewhat of a menace. But we love how the parents help their children navigate through these childhood difficulties through Biblical principles. We see our favorite characters of Ashley, Luke, Kari, Brooke and Erin were as children and if you have read the series how they became the adults we love so much.
This would be a great book for parents to read to their children at bedtime and discuss how they would handle these everyday problems. I hope there are many more of these books because we need them now more than ever.
