Laurel Hill: New Beginnings tells an exciting story about finding new friends, solving mysteries, learning to deal with bullies, and making memories that will last a lifetime. Maggie and her new friends discover that new beginnings show how God renews his promises to us day by day. 4.5 (FIVE) BOUNDLESS STARS

When Maggie’s parents split up it’s tough but adds being the new girl in a new town and at a new school and it’s even tougher, but with the help of new friends, things quickly get more comfortable for this 6th grader. Then come the mean girls and bullies. Will Maggie overcome the trouble that comes her way?

This is a wonderful book! I love that it combines a young girls struggles with the Christian views. The girls learn to face their troubles together with their openness about their faith. They even prayed together and for one another.

I started listening to this and immediately turned it off. I HAD to share this with my 6th grader, and we listened together. She loved it too. We rate it with 4 ½ stars. The narrator did a great job too!
