The Betsy-Tacy series by Maud Harte Lovelace is classic in the same way the "Little House" series is. Underrated, and beautifully written books about friendship, family traditions, solid, wholesome values, I highly recommend the entire series, but especially the high school years books, to the entire family. I am 53 and introduced them to my daughter at a young age, and she in turn, will introduce them to her daughter and my granddaughter. I still reread them once a year and never seem to tire of them!

We read this book on a family vacation. Grandma read it to my 9 year old daughter while I drove the car. What a fun way to re-live our childhoods! As Betsy and Tacy became inseparable friends, we (the adults) reminisced about our childhood and told many stories to my daughter.
This is a great book to remember the simple pleasures of life and to see how important friendships are.

I don't quite understand why this series is only classified as engaging for females! Females have been reading and enjoying literature about boys for eons; why not expect that males would appreciate excellent literature about girls. My 6 year old son's eyes have lit up around Betsy and Tacy's deep and imaginative friendship. We have both enjoyed the first book immensely. My son is delighted to know that there are more books to enjoy in the series and so am I. He may not be interested in playing with dolls, but he has enough sense to see that the way Betsy and Tacy play with them is quite endearing.

wonderful, warm, classic
As a teacher and a mother, I can't express how wonderful this series of books is. Growing up in Minnesota, I enjoyed these books and "imagined" that I was Betsy Ray. Read more

Delightful for advanced readers 6-7 years old
My daughter, aged 7, reads at a 4th-5th grade level. It is hard to find chapter books that relate to her interests and friends. The Besty-Tacy series is wonderful to find. Read more

Shaped my life from the day I first read it.

Beloved for more than a generation; still funny and loveable
The first in a series of books about a Minnesota girl/teenager/woman at the turn of the century. You haven't lived till you've read about Everything Pudding! Read more
