Critical Praise

“Some characters become your friends for life. That’s how it was for me with Betsy-Tacy.” — Judy Blume

“I read every one of these Betsy-Tacy Tib books twice. I loved them as a child, as a young adult, and now, reading them with my daughter, as a mother. What a wonderful world it was!” — Bette Midler, actor and singer

“Betsy-Tacy fans never die. They just reread.” — Anna Quindlen

“Betsy was a high-school junior when automobiles were new...but her problems were much the same as her modern high-school sisters.” — Chicago Sun

“Family loyalty and the devotion of friends to one another, which for me are the defining characteristics of the Betsy-Tacy stories.” — Esther Hautzig, award-winning author, former Director of Children's Book Promotion for Thomas Y. Crowell Co., and former publicist for Betsy's Wedding in 1955

“I am fairly certain that my independent, high-spirited grandmother must have had a childhood similar to Betsy Ray’s…As I read..., I felt that I was having an unexpected and welcome peek into Granny’s childhood—a gift to me from Maud Hart Lovelace.” — Ann M. Martin, creator/author of The Baby-sitter's Club

“I now realize that one of the reasons I believed I could someday become a writer was because of Betsy’s own infallible confidence that she would be a writer. — Mary Kay Andews, New York Times Bestselling Author

“When I was growing up in the Bronx, I had lots of friends. But the girls I most enjoyed spending time with were Betsy, Tacy and Tib . . . three girls full of good ideas, adventures and fun.” — Johanna Hurwitz, award-winning author of more than sixty popular books for young readers
