This is the third book in Katie Parker story. While I was expecting a different type of story, I was NOT disappointed. As in the first two books, I felt that Katie was a realistic female protagonist. However, she's not perfect, and the storyline in this third book puts Katie in an impossibly difficult situation. Katie's birth mother is back and she thinks she's ready to have her daughter returned to her. Lots of tears were shed by this reader as Katie deals with the loss of her foster family as well as her struggles living with her birth mother.Unlike the first two books, this was a sobering tale. Life can be messy, especially when dealing with family members who struggle with drug addiction. It's NOT pleasant to read about, but I thought the author handled it well. This is not a fluffy nonsense book, but a story that deals with real issues that teenagers face. I'm glad I read this book.
*Although this book deals with some darker themes, this is a clean story. I'd recommend this YA novel to anyone, but especially to teenage girls. Like the first two books, there is a strong Christian thread running through the story, but not overwhelmingly so. It would be best to read the first two books prior to this one. I think the reader needs to see how much Katie stands to lose and her relationship with her foster family, a storyline that takes place in books one and two.

The Big Picture A Katie Parker Production Book 3 (Audible Audio Edition) Jenny B Jones Reba Buhr Sweet Pea Productions Books Reviews
Katie Parker, how I love you. I'm a 45-year-old non-Christian but I adore these books--I just bought my third. Jones holds my rapt attention, which is, unfortunately, difficult to do. I ran across this series because I searched for books about foster care--research for a book I'm writing. I'm so happy I found this author. I did grow up in a church like the one in the book, but I don't know if that makes it more or less surprising that the religious parts don't bother me, and are occasionally even touching. I lean way more toward Buddhism than Christianity, just for the record.
Imagine my shock after reading all the Katie Parker books 1-4 and then reading the acknowledgement page to find that the books are meant for teens! At 61 I thoroughly enjoyed these books. Perhaps the fact that I am an adoptive mother and have kids who came through the foster care system made Katie 's story personal for me. It helped me see a little bit of what my kids must have felt coming into our home for the first time. I have also witnessed how my kids, like Katie, continue to feel the long-term effects of having once been abandoned by the people who were supposed to love and care for them. The characters in these books are lovable and funny, never preachy or totally unbelievable. I think my new goal in life is to be as much like Katie 's foster grandmother as possible - read the books and you'll know what I mean. So this old lady loved these written-for-teens books and look forward to reading many more Jenny Jones books.
This was one of those books that make you laugh, then cry and laugh again. It’s even worth the stares from people in the waiting room after you break out into hysterical laughter while reading it. The characters are so real and the storyline engaging and unpredictable. Having been a foster parent, a teen with low self-esteem- wondering if any boy would ever look at me, and a believer in the mercy and grace of God when one did, I could relate completely with many of the characters. I can’t wait to start the next one.
I think I downloaded the first book in this series because it was free. I absolutely loved this series! The author's name caught my attention because it was so similar to "Junie B. Jones." These books are so much fun to read. I love the character's humor and also the serious side of the subjects. I loved the way that the author portrayed foster care, Christianity, and human frailty. Growing up in a family that did foster care, and as an adoptive parent, I could really relate to the characters in this book. I could read this over and over again.
Jenny B Jones is amazing! This is the 3rd book in the "A Katie Parker Production and it was just as amazing as the first 2. How she has managed to hit the mark makes me wonder if this might be, at least partially, her own story? Someone close to her?
The Big Picture continues telling Katie's story. Every possible emotion is laid open, compelling one to continue reading. I have laughed out loud and cried. I found myself holding my breath & gritting my teeth.
I highly recommend this series of books to young adults & up. I'm 60 & I enjoyed each of these books immensely. Time to go buy the 4th & final book!
Buy this book & the rest of the series. it's so worth it!
This author writes teenage girls from the inside out. This particular girl comes from a horrible home situation ( druggie mom), and is out into foster care.
She has two choices, give up or go on. Because I think we forget that the mother child tie is one of the strongest things we experience. Even the worst mother is familiar at least. We find ways to cope with dysfunction, usually by creating thick walls that actually imprison is rather than protect.
So Katie is given a new choice. New friends. New life. New opportunity to come to know God.
But trust doesn't come easily. Neither does faith in a God who has seemed pretty indifferent for her whole life.
I think his is the second book in the series. To really appreciate the whole thing, reading the books in order is necessary I think.
I hated for the story to end at book three. I'd happily follow her life till old age.
The zany grandmother figure, Maxine, made me laugh. The snaky teen queen of the mean girls rang true. The surprises of any life were captured well. The pastor foster father was witty and loving and what anyone would want in a father. The teenage trying on of love relationships was well
done.
Just read these books. You won't be sorry.
