Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Good-Bye to All That
Jeanette Hanscome · 2005
74/100
👍 Worth It
The Brio Girls series earned a real following in evangelical teen fiction, and this fifth installment tackles the pressures around physical limits in dating with more authenticity than many Christian YA titles manage. Solana's storyline feels lived-in rather than didactic, and the faith perspective is woven through naturally. It rewards readers who are already in the series, and for churched teen girls ages 12-16 that audience will find it genuinely useful.
