Description Toward Books Betsy in Spite of Herself (Betsy-Tacy #6)
Betsy Ray is now a sophomore, and she and her Crowd are in the thick of things at Deep Valley High. Whether she's carrying out her duties as class secretary, trying to charm the exasperating Joe Willard, or juggling the demands of rhetoricals, football games, parties, and exams, Betsy's got her hands full. She should be happy... but she is dissatisfied. When oh-so-cosmopolitan Phil Brandish appears on the scene, Betsy decides that going with him would pull her out of the doldrums. But how can she make him notice her?Then Betsy's old friend Tib Muller invites her to spend Christmas in Milwaukee. And it's there that plain old Betsy begins her transformation into the dramatic and mysterious Betsye. With her new identity, she should be able to convince Phil she is special. The trouble is, Betsye can't help being Betsy in spite of herself - but as she discovers, that's even better.

When I was in 3rd grade, I read the first four Betsy-Tacy books. I loved the stories so much that I wrote my own Betsy-Tacy story in which Tib's family invites Betsy and Tacy on a trip to Milwaukee during summer break. My teacher asked me if I had copied it from one of the stories and I assured her I had not. My ideas were my own original ideas. Years later when I read this for the first time, I discovered that something very similar did happen to Betsy when she was in High School.And that isRe-read in 2015, just as good as ever!
It's good to see Betsye surrender and acknowledge her true, best Bestyness. It's honest to the teenage experience, and still delightfully quaint. Lovelace's signature Victorian charm is on parade as usual, but her darn preoccupation with Mr. Brandish makes Heavens to Betsy superior. Still, I'd throw on a Merry Widow hat and waist in a second if I could join this wonderful world of Deep Valley!
Oh, what a friend I've found in Betsy... and how dearly I love escaping to Deep Valley (especially now!) These books are such a comfort, with all the warmth and coziness of Betsy's happy, close-knit family and her cheerful Crowd of dear friends. Much is charmingly old-fashioned and yet, at heart, Betsy's journey is so deeply honest, it rings so true even today. Put aside the crank-start automobiles and pompadours and there's so much that's contemporary here. I think most teen girls even in
This book was really fun to read. This book was relatable since it was about Betsy's high school years. It was really fun to watch Betsy go to her first dance, get her first boyfriend, and try to change her personenality. The book was a very good addition to the Besty-Tacy books.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Betsy is a sophomore in high school. I love her friendship with Tacy and how it has developed. As they have gotten older their differences are more and more pronounced, but their care and love for each other is so great. I love Mr Ray and the rest of the Ray family, but especially Mr. Ray. He just warms my heart. Phil, I could have done without Phil and his pretentious ways, but that storyline was important for Betsy to recognize and love qualities in herself that
I sometimes flatter myself by thinking that Betsy and Tacy were me and Shaye in a previous life.
