Changes for Molly: A Winter Story by Valerie Tripp
2.0
This review is from the perspective of a mother. I am reading the books to decided when they are age appropriate for my daughter.
I'm torn on this book. The early Molly books are about how she resists change, she wishes everything was like before the war, with her family together, and everyone the same. And then she begins to mature in the later books, taking on leadership roles and wanting the spotlight, sometimes in a childish way, but usually good.
Then this book flips everything around and she wishes she was different, that her dad would see how different she is now. So while all ends well for the McIntyres, even if things don't work out 100% for Molly, I feel like the message in this book was confusing compared to where the rest of the series went.
I think the series has highs and lows, but overall, the messages and lessons were well presented.
