Between moving into a modern new house in the town, beginning her freshman year at Deep Valley High and having her friend Tib move away, Betsy was certainly facing a lot of change in her life. She comes home to find that her parents have purchased a new house and that she will be moving away (albeit only a short distance) from her best friend Tacy. The book starts with Betsy feeling homesick because she is staying with another family the summer before she starts high school. HEAVEN TO BETSY is probably my favorite Betsy- Tacy book to date. I am so glad that Harper Collins decided to re-release HEAVEN TO BETSY and BETSY IN SPITE OF HERSELF by Maud Hart Lovelace together in one big book.
I wasn't exactly surprised that I loved the next two books in this series which covered Betsy's freshman and sophomore years in high school. I absolutely adored the first four books in the Betsy- Tacy series (you can read my reviews here and here), but I have to admit that I was a little anxious to get the Betsy's teen years! I enjoyed seeing Betsy and Tacy's friendship grow throughout their childhood, but I couldn't wait to read about their high school experiences. But will she impress the special boy by becoming dramatic, mysterious Betsy-or would she be better off just being Betsy in spite of herself? - Harper Perennial Modern Classics not to mention boys! But most intriguing of all is the one she and her best friend, Tacy, dub "the Tall Dark Stranger."īetsy in Spite of Herself: Betsy is at the center of every activity as a Deep Valley High sophomore-and suddenly, thanks to her old friend Tib, she's offered a golden opportunity for glorious transformation. Heaven to Betsy: Betsy Ray is loving every minute of freshman year at Deep Valley High-with new and old friends all around her. Summary: This brand-new edition of Maud Hart Lovelace’s beloved works brings together the first two books of Betsy and Tacy’s high school years, Heaven to Betsy and Betsy in Spite of Herself, along with a new foreword by New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman.
