I love how each story has a moral to them, and shows you how to be a great friend. - Morgan Damschen I think its so sweet how they all really need each other, but some of them dont see it at first because they are afraid of being hurt. But it all works out in the end. I love all the funny little things that happen to all the kids while reading about their escapades. Once I start reading, I dont want to put the book down. - Sadie Mullins I like Spike because hes a lot like me. I think hes funny, and I like how when he does do something he shouldnt, he gets it and makes it right. - Wylie Mullins Its cool to see the way they help each other and have fun doing it. I also like that this series brings up going to church, and that God plays an important role in their lives. Ive grown up going to church, and I can relate to the Handy Helpers making church a part of their lives. I think Handy Helpers is a great series to read and reread. - Sierra Mullins

In this book, Laura is presented with an opportunity to do something that will make a difference. Challenged by her teacher to “Be the change you wish to see in the world,” (Mahatma Gandhi), she reaches out to a lonely woman who works in the cafeteria. The affects of this act go far beyond what she could ever have anticipated. Every day, we are called by God to join with him in small acts of holiness. When we respond to those calls, we are able to bring about amazing changes in the lives of others. It is my hope and prayer that when we hear that small voice, we will act according to God’s will. It is in this way, we will change the world.
