Pre-Order Glimmer Girls {And Receive a Free Necklace!}

Pre-order Glimmer Girls

“Glimmer is a light that is never extinguished. Sometimes it may glimmer a little bit lighter and sometimes a littler bit dimmer, but it never goes out. That’s the message I want girls to get from these books. You don’t always have to be shining bright, some days will be more difficult than others, but Jesus has put a light inside of you that will never go out.”

—Natalie Grant

Faithgirlz is thrilled to announce a new series by award-winning recording artist, Natalie Grant!

Your girls are going to love the adventures of twins Mia and Maddie and their little sister as they travel along on their mom’s singing tours, solving mysteries, learning life lessons, and making a difference.

TheLondonArtChase

In London Art Chasethe first title in the new Faithgirlz Glimmer Girls series, readers meet 10-year-old twins Mia and Maddie and their adorable little sister, LuLu. All the girls are smart, sassy, and unique in their own way, each with a special little something that adds to great family adventures.

There is pure excitement in the family as the group heads to London for the first time to watch mom, famous singer Gloria Glimmer, perform. But on a day trip to the National Gallery, Maddie witnesses what she believes to be an art theft and takes her sisters and their beloved and wacky nanny Miss Julia, on a wild and crazy adventure as they follow the supposed thief to his lair. Will the Glimmer Girls save the day And will Maddie find what makes her shine?

 

 

ADolphinWish

Join twins Mia and Maddie and their sidekick little sister, LuLu, as they travel the country finding adventure, mystery, and sometimes mischief along the way. Together with their famous mother, singer Gloria Glimmer, and their slightly wacky nanny Miss Twist, the sisters learn lessons about being good friends, telling the truth, and a whole lot more.

In A Dolphin Wish a three-night stop in the city of San Diego seems like it might be just the break the girls need—lovely weather and great sights to see. That is until they hear animal handlers at “Watery World” talking about the trouble they’ve been having keeping the animals in their habitats. Mia and her sisters cannot resist a challenge and they talk Miss Twist into another visit to the educational amusement park to search for clues as to what or who is helping the animals escape.

Blogger Brittany Moser of darkroomanddearly.com made these Polaroid-inspired drink rests from color photos and square tiles (a steal at 15 cents apiece). First, trim a photo to 3 3/4"W x 3 1/4"H. Using a foam brush, spread Mod Podge on the back of the image; then position it on a tile, leaving a 1/4-inch border at the top and sides, and a 3/4-inch border at the bottom. Let dry for 30 minutes. Spread Mod Podge over the photo and exposed tile borders and let dry for one hour; repeat two to three more times. Spray with clear sealant and let dry for 24 hours. Finally, affix adhesive felt pads to the underside corners of your picture-perfect tiles. YOU HAVE: Color photographs Scissors YOU'LL NEED: 2" foam brush ($0.47, amazon.com) Mod Podge, 8 oz.

The Lucy Collection (Now available as an ebook set!)

LUCY EBOOK COLLECTION

Faithgirlz is excited to present a 4 book collection now available here as an ebook set for only $12.99!

The Lucy collection is perfect for tween girls who are facing real life issues, trying to understand themselves, others, and God in a world that just doesn’t make life easy.

Lucy struggles, just like all tween girls, to figure out what it means to be the woman God created her to be. The tragedy of losing her mom, adjusting to her dad’s disabilities, and then the challenge of relating to a housekeeper and her daughter are enough. But then there’s the everyday stuff too, like how to relate to girly-girls when she’s a tomboy who’d rather play soccer than anything else.

Encourage your tween to read and to grow in her faith through this four book set at a great price!
