London Confidential Series

LONDON CONFIDENTIAL

SERIES

ASKING FOR TROUBLE

THROUGH THICK AND THIN

DON’T KISS HIM GOOD-BYE

FLIRTING WITH DISASTER

By:  Sandra Byrd

SUMMARY
from inside covers

Straight from the streets of London and hot off the presses of the high school newspaper comes the new series London Confidential.  Join fifteen-year-old Savvy and her family as they adjust to the British way of life after moving from the States.  Experience the high-fashion world of London and learn about life in England – all while journeying with an all-American girl and budding journalist.

Along the way, you’ll probably learn the same lessons Savvy does:  it’s better to just be yourself, secrets can be complicated, and popularity comes with a high price tag!

REVIEW

This adorable series was quick and fun to read.  Savvy is the type of teen girl that I hope to be like.  She is spunky, funny, and she never gives up.  Savvy is a great role model for other girls to follow and I could relate to her. 

There is plenty of London-speak in these books, and I could tell that Sandra Byrd had done her homework.  The setting is so different from the United States, and I liked reading about Savvy’s school.   

The plot moves nicely from one book to the other as Savvy adjusts to her new life in London.  She works hard to get a job with the school newspaper, ponders a date for May Day Ball, and must overcome temptation. 

The overriding theme of this Christian series is to be true to yourself.  The message is delivered in a wonderfully fun story.  Thank you to Sandra Byrd for sending these books for me to review.
