"This is a fantastic middle grade novel that thoughtfully explores friendship, unwanted transitions, and the power of truth and forgiveness. Rachel brings depth to cross-cultural relationships and the emotional world of pre-teens through an engaging summer story that moves between London, Chicago, and a camp in the middle of nowhere. A relatable read for teens who are living abroad or any reader navigating change."

- Christy Carmean, Director of Operations at TCK Training

"In a cultural landscape where perusing the teen section of the library can feel disheartening, Rachel offers a rare kind of story. One which is clean, relatable, and reminds us of the quiet mysteries of God at work in our lives. The Girl and the Green Hat is full of such tender honesty that will speak to teens searching for a place to belong or carrying the ache of divorce, loss, or the challenges - yet unexpected joys - of blending families. It is a novel that consoles as well as inspires, reminding young readers that God is so much bigger than we can imagine."

- Jessica Hadden, Life Giving Pages
