"Melissa's Star" is a story about two sisters and their friends who are full of fun and bright ideas.

Mellie, it seems, is always being annoyed by her oh-so-different little sister, Julie, which creates problems in the family described in a humorous manner.The story shows that a child can grow up in a Christian family, yet remain unchanged by the power of the gospel. Thus, misunderstandings arise. Due to an unexpected event, Mellie finds that her negative attitude toward her little sister changes-at least temporarily.In the sequel to "Melissa's Star" ("Melissa in Colombia"), Melissa finally accepts Christ, and she and Julie are reconciled and become great friends. You will have to read the sequel to find out how this happened."Melissa's Star" is especially appropriate for girls, ages 8 to 12. Each chapter also is suitable to be read as a bedtime story.

Beryl Ann (Roberts) Boehringer was born in Leicester, England, in 1933. While studying languages at the University, she met her future husband, Karl-Otto Boehringer, a German exchange student. Before they married in 1956, she spent a year as an assistant teacher of English in France. During the following years, she was busy rearing their seven children and holding Kids' Clubs in their home as well as children's meetings in the churches her husband pastored or planted in different towns in Germany. She now has 22 grandchildren and a growing number of great grandchildren. The author personally experienced many of the amusing or dangerous events told in "Melissa's Star." When one of the daughters with her family went to live in Colombia, she visited them several times and knows the country well. Therefore, the idea for the sequel, "Melissa in Colombia," was born.
