Teaching youth girls in Sunday School has piqued my interest in available fiction for teens. I like to know what they’re into and how I can relate better to them. Also, since I have a tween, I like to see what’s on the reading horizon for her. I haven’t been impressed with the current popular fare. That’s why I was ecstatic to find author Sarah Anne Sumpolec’s series Becoming Beka.
The 5-book series follows Beka Madison through her Junior and Senior years of high school. The first book, The Masquerade, begins a few months after Beka’s mom dies in a car accident. Harboring a secret she can’t bear to share, Beka has completely isolated herself from her family and classmates. Lori, a new girl at school with a secret of her own, crosses Beka’s path. The two become friends just as the scheming and popular Gretchen suddenly draws Beka into her circle. And what’s up with the oh-so-cute Mark, who’s suddenly paying Beka a lot of attention? As Beka navigates the tough waters of high school, she feels more and more alienated from her Christian family. Will she ever find a place to fit in?
I confess, I devoured this series. Beka wrestles with her faith and finding God’s will for her life, and I was anxious to find out where the journey would take her. Sumpolec has created very real characters and handles issues that most teen girls face today. These books would be a great gift for any teen girl.
Melissa has been captivated by books for as long as she can remember. She resides in Virginia and blogs at Breath of Life.
