Summary: You're only sixteen once!
Review: Betsy Was a Junior is perhaps the most fun-filled book of the entire Betsy-Tacy series. It opens with Tib's return from Milwaukee, which is met with joy and happiness by Betsy and Tacy. Three strong once again, the girls busy themselves with attending dances, performing in school recitals, and, of course, hanging out with their Crowd. Prompted by older sister Julia's rhapsodic descriptions of sorority life, Betsy decides to follow suit by creating a high school sorority called Okto Delta. Although the eight members have a terrific time throwing parties and eating delicious refreshments (I defy anyone to read MHL's books without getting up and going the refrigerator just once!), they soon learn that a sorority has its drawbacks. Realizing that she and her sistren are alienating other members of Deep Valley High School (particularly Tony), Betsy dissolves the group and reverts back to her gregarious self. Tib provides an extra dash of glamour to this book, what with her "blonde, stunning looks" and "lilac-trimmed dresses" that contrast fascinatingly with her practical, independent personality. One suspects that even Irma the Siren felt some competition once Ms. Muller joined the ranks of Deep Valley High School. This is a wonderful book about friendship and community; if you haven't discovered the magic of the Betsy-Tacy series, do yourself a favor and pick up one of these treasures. You won't be sorry!

Summary: Review: Besty w as a Junior
Review: A year full of fun and adventure. That is what Best Ray and her friends make make of their highschool junior year. Excited to finally be a junior, Besty has lots of plans for the great year ahead of her. Yet most of her plans fail, but but Besty always makes the best out od a bad situation.
Besty was a Junior, by Muad Hart Lovelace, has its good and bad poitns. Some of the bad points were that charcters were always happy mopst of the time, and that was very unrealistic. The good points were thoguh, that it was a very fun book to read, and there never was a dull moment.
As a result I would rate this bok a 9 out of 10, mostly because it was very exciting, and captivating. I would definatly recomend this book.

Summary: So good I can't stand it
Review: Betsy Was a Junior evokes Betsy's year in the heart of high school, beginning with Tib's sudden return to Deep Valley. Based on Maud Hart Lovelace's real-life junior year, the book evokes the Okto Delta sorority, which has so many good times you can hardly believe it. Please get it.

Summary: A life-long Betsy Tacy fan!!
Review: I would give the entire series more than five stars. My obsession with the Betsy-Tacy books began as a young girl reading my mother's hardcover copies. These had been given to her as gifts by her aunt. My great-aunt then began giving me each book in the series, in hard-cover. Unfortunately, all of these were destroyed in a fire that destroyed our family home. My mother was successful in obtaining all the Betsy-Tacy books in hardcover again. I grew up mere miles from the town on which Deep Valley is based, Mankato, MN. I am grown and married and have children of my own, all boys. But I look forward to sharing the timeless treasure of these books with my niece and friends' daughters. I still reread them regularly. These books transcend the period in which they were written. Give yourself a gift and read this series; then share it with a friend and with all the young women/girls you know. There are also two peripheral Lovelace books not directly part of the Betsy-Tacy series, but placed in Deep Valley: Carney's House Party and Emily of Deep Valley. I believe they may be out-of-print; publisher, please bring them back as you revitalized the Betsy-Tacy books.

Summary: One of The Best Books I've Ever Read!
Review: This book is amazing! Ive read all of the other preceding books in this short series, and I truly enjoyed this one. It was different in a way; Betsy's life was less Ideal in this story. Julia goes to college. Betsy forms Deep Valley's first sorority for her group of friends, which, unfortunately upsets other classmates. Read it so you can cry, laugh, and smile with Betsy and her friends.

Summary: all betsy and tacy books
Review: When I first read these books twenty years ago I had a hard time finding them and I did not read them in order. I started with "Betsy and Joe" and then read whatever ones I could find. I thought I was the only one in the world that enjoyed these books!!Thank you Harper for reissuing these books. I bought the entire set online and have been reading them in order! These past few weeks I have been in another world--Betsy's world, and it has been wonderful. The new books with the pictures and history of Maude's family and friends have made the characters in these stories come alive. These books reminded of the "Little House" books and I hope someone makes a TV series out of these stories. They are timeless.
