Glimmer Girls frolic in "London Art Chase" and "A Dolphin Wish" [Review & Giveaway--US & CANADA]

 

Books 1 and 2 of the bright and shinny "tween girl chapter books" has the twins and their sister cavorting in London and San Diego with their glamorous performing mother and their fun and quirky nanny.

The girls are very outspoken, tend to tease and argue a bit, and are adventuresome. In the London Art Chase story, they are given a tour of London, a taste of an English "Tea" replete with clotted cream and little sandwiches, and a day trip to an art museum that proves to be educational and the source of Maddie's adventure.

Maddie is certain she overhears a theft of a work of art being hatched and she is determined to stop it. After the family returns to the hotel, Maddie slips out and makes her way to the "square" where the thieves are to meet up.

The girls are cute, they share faith in God and His care for them, they have a loving family. The big drawback or negative to this story is actually a major aspect of it - Maddie's excursion, alone, away from the hotel to catch a thief. I believe this doesn't set a good example for 10 year old girls But they learn about how serious it is to run off on their own.

Overall, though, I enjoyed the little book and think the series engaging.

In the girl's adventure in A Dolphin Wish the girls learn about faith and trust and obedience. They learn to overcome fears and have fun while they solve yet another mystery. They learn about the importance of doing the right thing.

I love the family outing in San Diego at the Adventure park that has them going from section to section taking in the rides and seeing the animals. Reading about the fun they have as individuals and as a family was really a treat.

I enjoyed this little book for "tweens" and am thankful that there are stories awaiting these young girls that steer them toward a faith-based life.

About Glimmer Girls:   This  is a two-book fiction series for 9-12 year old girls from award winning singer Natalie Grant. Readers will join twins Mia and Maddie, and their little sister, Lulu, as they travel the country finding adventure, mystery, and mischief along the way.  Together with their father, famous mother, singer Gloria Glimmer, and their slightly wacky nanny, Miss Julia, the smart and sassy sisters learn lessons about being good friends, telling the truth, and a whole lot more.

Author Natalie Grant says:  "Glimmer Girls is a fiction series that I have created with my daughters.  The storyline is about three girls who go on tour with their singing mom.  I have no idea where I came up with that plot!  It’s fun for my little girls to help with the content because they actually live that life.  Glimmer is the last name of the family, but it also has a special meaning.  It is a light that is never extinguished.  Sometimes it may glimmer a little bit brighter, sometimes it may glimmer a little bit dimmer, but it never goes out.  I felt like that was such a perfect description for all of us.  We all have a light on the inside and depending on the day, sometimes it’s bright and sometimes it’s dim.  That is the message I wanted girls to get from this book.  You don’t always have to be shining bright, some days are going to be more difficult than others, but Jesus has put a light in you that will never go out.”
