Mrs. Baker introduces Debbie to Robert Curtis, a boy who becomes very important to her. Sara also helps Debbie and her family to know an even more important person...Jesus Christ.

The adventures of Debbie Folino are compellingly readable stories of the personal growth of this young girl through the everyday things that happen to her, her friends and her family.

When Debbie injures her arm pitching in a softball game, she is very upset...and very difficult for her family and friends to live with, until she begins to help another girl learn to pitch.

Debbie learns to accept a new baby into the family, when she was sure that she didn't want a bratty sibling at all.  Several other stories show Debbie's personal growth and budding maturity as Major Mitchell tells us about her life, and the changes because of her belief in Jesus and the decisions she makes to help others and make new friends. The line drawings by Karen Borrelli illustrate the various stories and help bring them to life.

These wonderful, inspirational stories are full of action and told with great humor.  Mitchell is very good at creating characters and plotting stories we will long remember, and want to read over and over.
