The little bit of romance between Mandie & Joe is so sweet but some parents might not want their younger daughters reading it. *See my thought on this series versus the younger series, Here!Link to review:http://booksforchristiangirls.blogspo...*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author.
