We recently read Ellen Tebbits and now she is hooked. This book is one of my favorites. I love that I could relate to it when I was a girl and now my daughter can relate to it years later. It is a timeless book about friends and the trials they face. She loves it so much that I knew a book study was necessary so she could enjoy it even after we were finished.
