   ELSIE'S FRIENDS AT WOODBURN is the 13th Elsie book, dealing with the happy life of Elsie's daughter Violet. Captain Raymond has three older children---Max, Lulu and Grace---from his previous marriage, as well as two younger ones with his second wife, Violet. He is now retired from the navy, having come into unexpected wealth, and they're all living at their beautiful estate of Woodburn. Most of the storyline centers on Lulu, now 13, who still must struggle against her naturally quick temper.

Captain Raymond has three older children---Max, Lulu and Grace---from his previous marriage, as well as two younger ones with his second wife, Violet. He is now retired from the navy, having come into unexpected wealth, and they're all living at their beautiful estate of Woodburn. Most of the storyline centers on Lulu, now 13, who still must struggle against her naturally quick temper. She is maturing but only by degrees. Many domestic scenes are presented, along with a Christmas party for the Woodburn youngsters. FRIENDS AT WOODBURN is less exciting than many in the series but pleasant enough. The most dramatic scene comes halfway through the book, when Elsie's youngest daughter Rosie is bitten by a rattlesnake! And the person you would least expect is the one who comes flying to Rosie's rescue...

   This amusing story trails Elsie's young granddaughter, Lulu, through both exciting times and troubling trials. To take you on a stroll through the book, there's festive parties, rattlesnake encounters, pet ponies to ride, devastating injuries, and a home full of love and compassion. You'll be able to see Lulu grow in spirit to get past her famous tempers, with both her Heavenly & Earthly fathers guiding her. Personally, I just loved this Elsie book, and I couldn't wait to finish it!

   This series is a bit Calvinistic in its theology, and it's also a bit uber-Christian; i.e., the Christians are really, really good and the non-Christians are really, really bad. The further into the series you get, the more boring the books get because there are too many historical lectures in the later books rather than actual plots.

   Elsie's books have been good, and keep me coming back for more. but Elsie and her family are too perfect. Elsie's books have been good, and keep me coming back for more. but Elsie and her family are too perfect.
