Granted this book is geared towards kids ages 8-12, but I knew I would read it.A simple, easy read because of the intended audience, I still found myself caught up in the adventures of Brooke, Kari, Ashley, Erin and Luke. You are taken back in a time where no iPads, cell phones, etc. are the focal point of growing up. My own childhood memories came back as I turned the pages of BEST FAMILY EVER.While the book centers around middle daughter Ashley, as a reader you still get a good glimpse into the childhood of the other four children. Ashley is a funny, yet very imaginative girl, who finds herself in trouble with her teacher, her parents and siblings, but you have to love her young heart. As in every family, the Baxter children have their moments of not getting along, moments of feeling alone, not being loved. But when the biggest change in their young lives are about to take place, a move to another state for their dad John Baxter’s job, the five bond closer together and remember the words their mother Elizabeth always tells them....Your best friends are the ones around the dinner table each night. I love the children’s faith throughout the book.I think that BEST FAMILY EVER is a good introduction to the this beloved family for the young reader. And to be honest a good book for all the adult Baxter family readers. I loved reading about the family in the early days and look forward to the next books.If you have young readers in your life, I highly recommend this book. And definitely take the time to read along with your child, you will find yourself laughing and reminiscing about your own childhood....and maybe even shed a few tears. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Wanted to love this book *by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2021* I bought this book to read to my kids. We were excited to start it, but after reading 5 chapters, they lost interest. We were waiting for the read to get interesting but never got into it. Not sure if it's because we can't relate to the family?.... Sarcasm and humor is the norm in my house of 5. We are Christians and pray together. I totally thought this book would be great to be read for bedtime... But it never caught their interest. I have 11yo b/g twins and a 6yo boy. I've read them different books before and have enjoyed all of them. Unfortunately, they asked me to not read this anymore because it was not relatable or intersting. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life Changing Fiction For Kids! *by M***) on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2019* I was so excited for the release of this novel. Karen Kingsbury is one of my absolute favorite authors and her Baxter family has been my favorite for a long time now. This book is the start of books about her Baxter family characters as children. I've always wondered about the Baxter kids and what there life was like growing up, and with this book, we get just that and so much more! It's definitely Life Changing Fiction For Kids everywhere!This one focuses on Ashley Baxter. Ashley was one of my favorite characters in the Baxter series and her character as a child......let me tell you, she was full of mischief and I saw myself in her so much! The experiences of having to move and make new friends and adjust to life in a new way, was something that I could relate to, after my dad retired from the military and I had to leave my best friend. The faith, the hope, the love that the Baxter children had as young ones was inspiring, even for this adult!Whether you have a child or grandchild, niece or nephew, who loves to read, this book is perfect for them! Every child, and adult needs to read this sweet book! I read it in one sitting. Mother and Son did a phenomenal job on this creation! If you're 8, or 98, this is a 5 star read that you will want on your shelf forever! Bravo and magnificently done, Mrs. Kingsbury and Mr. Russell. I can't wait to read the next one! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/114057834-best-family-ever-baxter-family-children-book-1](https://www.desertcart.us/products/114057834-best-family-ever-baxter-family-children-book-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-18*
