Cool Springs Girls Book 1: Sarah Grace

By Martha Fouts Mrs.

Description:

Superstar Alana Ryles is sponsoring a singing competition for the next big star. Sara Grace (the shortest girl in the eighth grade and quite possibly the whole school) and her best friend, Brianna (the girl who can eat anything she wants and still have a teeny tiny waist, ugh, sometimes it’s so hard for Sara Grace not to be jealous.), and a couple of other wannabe singers, Lanae and Meredith, are all determined to win.

Book Takeaway:

In 1988 I was in the eighth grade. That year I had my first boyfriend. I made good grades. At times, I felt rejected by friends, annoyed at my mother, and confused about my faith. I loved reading, and books greatly influenced me. I would have loved Cool Springs Girls if I had read it at that age. I hope this book reaches and teaches young girls who are struggling with relationships and their faith, and they learn that God loves them and cares about every detail of their lives. I hope they learn that the plan God has for their life is better than anything the world has to offer.

Why the author wrote this book:

My primary reader is a fifth through eighth grade girl. Christian girls or their parents will most likely purchase this book. It is my desire that these girls will share the books in this series with their non-Christian friends. I hope that both Christian and non-Christian girls who like singing will want to read this book, because it is about a group of young singers. I want my readers to talk to each other and to their parents about the lessons they learn from this book.
