Together they share the difficulties and joys of growing up, going on countless adventures – both real and imagined. But the girls befriend one another at Betsy’s 5 th birthday party and soon become inseparable. Betsy is excited to discover that Tacy is exactly Betsy’s age, although Tacy initially refuses to speak to her due to bashfulness. The girls meet when Tacy’s family moves into the house across the street from Betsy’s family. The series is about a young girl named Betsy, and her bashful, redheaded friend Tacy. I loved these books with all of my heart then, and to this day, I still enjoy reading them! As I was growing up, I read them more times than I can count. When I think of books that defined my childhood, the Betsy-Tacy series books are the first to come to mind.
