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.

Unlike Heaven to Betsy, I liked this book immediately. I suppose I was already used to the high school aged Betsy. I am eager to read the rest of Maud Hart Lovelace's books. Heaven did grow on me, but this book felt cozy to me almost as much as did the first four books in the series, and I liked it almost as much as the first four books.Not one false note! There isnt anything that rings false in any of these Betsy-Tacy books. This book, along with all the others in this series, is so wellTo thine own self be true, Betsy ("Betsye") girl! I love this one so much. All of us women and girls can identify with Betsy's challenges to be something different than who and what she is. I love how sweetly and compassionately Maud Hart Lovelace writes about Betsy's growing pains.I also love this book because Betsy gets to visit Tib in Milwaukee over Christmas and I love reading about all the German customs and which Grandparents like the Kaiser and which ones don't and why--after all, it's

As she struggles to
As I anticipated, I didn't enjoy this one all that much, although to be fair it *did* improve along the way.I'm not sure if it's because I missed out on the whole teenage/high school culture or what, but I just can't relate to a bunch of frivolous, silly teenagers acting the way they act in this book. So concerned with hair and clothes and flirting with boys and all that.I did find it a bit confusing with all the characters at the beginning and apparently the Rays moved. I missed a book or two
Man, I didn't love Betsy in this one and Phil sucks.
Love: ALMOST EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE. ESPECIALLY JOE.Dislike: Phil Brandish and his sister Phyllis.Enough said.
This book is just so amazing! The main theme is 'to thine ownself be true.' Well, Betsy really needs to learn this lesson, as she starts out this book deciding to be a 'new and improved Betsy.' Or should I say Betsye? Anyway, she puts on new clothes, new perfume, and a new personality ... and goes out to catch a new boy! And she gets him ... though, of course, not as Betsy ... as 'Betsye.' xDHere we have more hard lessons and more hilarious situations and more cuteness. Honestly, it's just the
