Elizabeth's New Hero | 
pickIn one of the more dated installments, Caroline Pearce brags about one of the East German gymnasts who will be staying with her family for two weeks. But when her grandmother gets sick, Christoph Beckman stays with the next family on the list— the Wakefields! Though Steven initially thinks Christoph is a spy, soon they all warm up to him & his enthusiasm for all things American. Christoph loves more than gymnastics & starts to make plans to stay!
JenlovesJT47 Lol I‘ve never read this one, sounds funny! 😆 3mo
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 I am actually not sure if I had ever read this one before now, either! It really didn‘t feel familiar at all! Also, the title was originally advertised as The Wakefield‘s Visitor but it was changed for some reason… and I am not sure that he‘s Elizabeth‘s hero!! 🤣 3mo
JenlovesJT47 Lol I‘ll look forward to reading this one 😆 funny they thought he was a spy but it‘s a sign of the times and I was so little when this came out I don‘t remember much about it. 3mo
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 It‘s a fun one! Plus it came out only a few months before the Berlin Wall came down! 3mo
