My favorite part in this story was Betsy and her friends writing to the king of Spain which really happened in the authors childhood. Betsy is 10 in this book, so girls around this age would thoroughly enjoy this!Another delightful book in the Betsy and Tacy series. I appreciate it that the girls are not sickeningly sweet, but that they learn and grow as they relate to others. In this installment they befriend a little girl who is a Syrian refugee and through her they learn some important lessons about kindness, forgiveness, and patriotism.

Foreign people should not be treated like that. America is made up of foreign people." And after the Syrians showed their pride in living in America: "Julia said soberly, 'They think a lot of being Americans, don't they?' 'They certainly do,' Katie answered. 'Boys like
I wonder how many kids read the Foreword by Judy Blume and the notes at the end of the book. Now that I know the story is semi-autobiographical, I understand why the books in this series seem so real.Here's an example of a paragraph that put a smile on my face:"The sooner we don't see them the better, I think," said Betsy gloomily. "Gee whiz!" she added. Betsy very seldom said "Gee whiz!" She was too religious. But it was all she could think of to express her feelings now.("Them" being their
The third book is this cute series. It was fun to ready about the innocence of an era gone by.
