Heaven to Betsy (Betsy-Tacy) by
Maud Hart Lovelace
"Buy Now Before It's Too Late!"
High School is Heaven
Its Betsy Rays freshman year at Deep Valley High School, and she and
her best childhood chum, Tacy Kelly, are loving every minute. Betsy and
Tacy find themselves in the midst of a new crowd of friends, with studies
aplenty (including Latin and--ugh--algebra), parties and picnics galore,
Sunday night lunches at home--and boys!
Theres Cab Edwards, the jolly boy next door; handsome Herbert
Humphreys; and the mysteriously unfriendly, but maddeningly attractive,
Joe Willard. Betsy likes them all, but no boy in particular catches her fancy
until she meets the new boy in town, Tony Markham . . . the one she and
Tacy call the Tall Dark Handsome Stranger. Hes sophisticated, funny, and
dashing--and treats Betsy just like a sister. Can Betsy turn him into a
beau?

An entertaining picture of school clubs, fudge parties, sings around the
piano, and Sunday-night suppers in Betsys hospitable home. Chicago
Tribune.
Personal Review: Heaven to Betsy (Betsy-Tacy) by Maud Hart
Lovelace
This is a delightful, wonderful story. (Unfortunately, due to low sales,
HarperCollins is not going to continue printing it. Truly a loss!) I highly
recommend the book to any one who has enjoyed "Anne of Green
Gables," the Little House books, "Little Women," and the American Girl
series.
Through the book, we follow 14-year-old Betsy as she enters high school
in 1906, gets use to living in a new house, becomes active at school,
develops a social crowd and tries to makes friends with stand off-ish Joe. I
love the period setting of the book and all the details of daily life at the time
(especially fun is reading about the clothing worn and what went into
getting ready for a big dance). The relationships presented in the story are
so genuine, you feel that the characters really exist. And, many years after
reading this book, I learned that the author based this and other books in
the series on her own growing up years in Mankato, Minnesota.
I first read this book in 7th grade and was immediately and ever after
enthralled. My library had only two other books by Maud Hart Lovelace,
and I devoured those, longing for more. When I was 16, I received
hardcover copies of Heaven to Betsy, Betsy in Spite of Herself, Betsy was
a Junior, Betsy and Joe, Betsy and the Great World, and Betsy's Wedding.
They are among my most treasured possessions.
