The heartwarming Elita Brown Series—three book set.
Winner of a Christianity Today Book of the Year Award.
What if every girl knew God loves her and has a seat for her at His table? The Elita Brown series is perfect for middle schoolers navigating friendship and how to live out their faith. Follow Elita as she faces rejection, comparison, and insecurity — and discovers her true worth in Christ. With relatable stories and engaging discussion questions, these books help young readers grow closer to Jesus.
Book 1 This Seat's Saved
Class schedules, locker combinations, and the play for popularity — middle school is a new world with new rules.
At the start of 7th grade, Elita Brown's friends enjoy their seats at the popular lunchroom table. Meanwhile, Elita hides in the bathroom. This is not how she envisioned middle school. And her omission from the popular table is only the beginning of her problems. What will she do when she's terrorized by the meanest girl in school and accused of a crime she didn't commit? Full of suspense and divine moments, readers will be captivated by this story.
Book 2 The Disappearing Seat
December is a disaster.
December normally brings joy to Elita Brown's heart with the coziness of winter and the anticipation of Christmas. But when Elita compares her life to others, her best friends seem to have it so much better. Elita discovers the secret to savoring the good gifts all around her. Through the wisdom revealed in nature and a loving spiritual mentor, Elita learns what it means to have access to the riches of God's kingdom and how to enjoy the beautiful life God has given her. Readers will delight in what they learn about the bears, owls, and the frozen vernal ponds in the Pennsylvania forest (which all become symbols of Elita's spiritual growth). With great discussion questions included, this book helps young readers on their journey with Jesus.
Book 3 The Elite Seat
Have you ever dreamed of being famous? Well, be careful.
Spring arrives in Pennsylvania and Elita Brown suddenly finds herself seated at the table of popularity. She wins a leadership award that also wins the admiration and attention of others. But when her best friend posts a video about Elita that goes viral, Elita realizes not every table fits her personality—or God's plan for her.
How will Elita get back to the table where she belongs? Can she forgive her friend? With the help of trusted people in her life, Elita learns to look at her seat from the perspective of God's riches in mercy and kindness.
Readers discover how to persevere amidst the unique temptations of middle school popularity and the problem of self-consciousness; they learn God's plan to live a life of forgiveness, authenticity, and service to others—even when 7th grade survival feels beyond possible.
