Summary: Very believable character - a book of faith for teenagers
Review: Anyone who is (or who ever has been) 13 will identify with Leslie's struggles to make sense of her family, her faith, her own thoughts, and the world. Through her letters to God, Leslie deals with questions as big as the very nature of God and as small as why Mom gets so bent out of shape about how the bathroom towels are folded. Sandra Humphrey has done a beautiful job of not only creating a very believable character, but more importantly, of showing young readers how inextricably faith is linked to the issues of everyday life.

Summary: Great book for teens!
Review: Do you remember being in junior high and all those changes? Or are you in junior high and wondering if you are the only one with all these thoughts and conflicts running around in your mind? This book is a junior high girl's diary of her talks with God. She talks to him about her new house, new school, new church group and how frightened she is with all these changes. We read her thoughts as she handles her feelings that a new teacher doesn't care, and that her parents' rules are too crazy. We watch as she shares with God her fear about her parents' pending divorce. We see her mature in her strength in God as she goes through this school year. This is a nice book that a teenager should find comforting by realizing that they aren't the only one dealing with feeling that their legs are too thin, nose is too flat, that they are too shy or wondering if God is real and answers their prayers.--- Reviewed by Tammy Moore for Christian Bookshelf

Summary: Teens will relate as they search to get closer to God
Review: What's really cool about 13-year old Leslie, who wrote every single letter in this book, is how she figured out that you can talk to God like a friend, and then how she went ahead and did it. Any young person who wants to feel closer to God (but who wonders what the "right language" is supposed to be) should read this wonderful year-long diary. Before you know it, you'll be wanting to start writing your own set of letters to God.
