Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"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....in the series by Maud Hart Lovelace... - three girls full of good ideas, adventures and fun."--Johanna Hurwitz, award-winning author of more than sixty popular books for young readers

"Slipping into a Betsy book is like slipping into a favorite pair of well-worn slippers: It's always a pleasure to live in Betsy's world for a little while, to experience her simple joys, but also her (thankfully short-lived) sorrows."--Meg Cabot, New York Times Bestselling Author

"I re-read these books every year, marveling at how a world so quaint--shirtwaists! Pompadours! Merry Widow hats!--can feature a heroine who is undeniably modern."--Laura Lippman, New York Times Bestselling Author

"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

"Some characters become your friends for life. That's how it was for me with Betsy-Tacy."--Judy Blume, bestselling author

"The Betsy-Tacy books were among my favorites when I was growing up."--Nora Ephron, Academy Award-nominated director

"Maud Hart Lovelace and her "Betsy-Tacy" series influenced me very much when I was a girl; I identified with Betsy, who wanted to be a writer, as well as the friends' girl-power."--Lorna Landvik, New York Times Bestselling Author

"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

"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
