"I love these Elsie Dinsmore books, how you can see the children grow up. I don't really get though how the mother can be pregnent and the children not know it until the baby is born. I love it how even though other children might tempt them, they still what they know is right!" — Brenna (4 out of 5 stars)

" I don't remember this one at all, but I think I did read it. "
" I really like this series although it's a bit Calvinistic in its theology, and it's a bit uber-Christian; i.e., the Christians are really, really good and the non-Christians are really, really bad. "
" Mary Sue Elsie strikes again! Not terrible interesting, but mindlessly entertaining. "
" These books are a trial to read as a Catholic,though I don't know why I expect differently. I wish the author had attempted to at least learn a bit about the faith before railing against in so overblown a manner. That said, the book was still generally pleasant and heartfelt "
" This is the best Elsie book I have read so far. "
