Customer Reviews

5.00 stars Love this series for my daughter!

  Reviewer Program Member

I can't keep up with my daughter's reading so I love knowing that if I get her the next Abigail book I can trust what she's reading. Abigail is very relatable to her. She loves being able to see another girl around her age navigate tricky situations and conflicting emotions, seeking to follow Jesus in all of it. I pray that the biblical messages shared in these books are buried in her heart with each book and will come to mind when she encounters problems at school.

  Reviewer Program Member

If you’re a girl mom, I can’t recommend Abigail and the Summer Situation by Bethany McIlrath enough!

We’ve been longtime fans of Abigail, but the fifth book in the series has officially become our favorite. My girls were always asking for “just one more chapter,” and I loved how relatable the story was.

(Review written for 'Abigail and the Summer Situation (ebook)')

My 10 year old daughter loves this series of books. She started reading them last year when she moved to middle school, they are perfect.

We are so glad to hear that your daughter is enjoying the series, Anna! Thanks so much for sharing your review.
