Search - Betsy-Tacy (Betsy-Tacy, Bk 1)

Children's literature at its best! Be swept away to a time and place when girls had one "regular" dress and one "good" dress and the city was safe for exploration by three curious, fun-loving girls. This really captures the flavor of growing up middle-class in America in the 1940s.

Book 1 in what is, for my money, the best girls' series of all time. Meet Betsy Ray and Tacy Kelly and their families. The girls are best friends, growing up in turn of the century Minnesota and the series carries the girls and their friends through high school and beyond. EXCELLENT!

I bought this book for my daughter who is 7 and she loved it she said.

Absolutely wonderful childrens book! I'm only upset because I didn't read it until I was in my 30's. Beautiful depiction of time and place and really puts things into perspective in terms of how girlhood never really changes. Be it 1900 or 2010, the search for adventure and companionship and the love for your BFF is age-less.
