When the first book opens, 12-year-old Lucy Rooney lives in New Mexico with her father, who is blind, and several cats. Lucy loves to play soccer and ride her bike, and she also likes to hang out with friends. She thrives on being left alone and having time to think and write in a book of lists that her mom had had. Unfortunately for Lucy, take-charge Aunt Karen swoops into their house one day and has a “serious talk” with Lucy’s father. The talk results in the Rooney's hiring a housekeeper - one who will do a Bible study with Lucy, much to Lucy’s chagrin. While Lucy adjusts to these changes at home, a real soccer team has been created at school, but will having a real team and practices make the game lose its fun? The rest of the books in the series help to answer these questions, and they chronicle Lucy's adventures regarding healthy friendships and God’s definition of beauty. The books are very fun to read, and I especially love how each one centers around a specific woman from the Bible, including Ruth, Esther, and Mary. I was able to relate to Lucy and her struggles, and I think that many girls will feel the same way. Have you read this series? What did you think of it? Let us know in the comments! With Love, A
