This is the first in the Above the Line series, which introduces new characters devoted to making Hollywood films with a Christian message. The book also brings back the beloved Baxter and Flanigan families, which will please devoted Kingsbury readers. The book focuses on the challenges of presenting a positive message in movies and also on the adjustment of starting college. Like other Kingsbury books, I enjoy the characters and the story, but I find that the writing is not quite polished and more thorough editing would have been helpful.

In this second book in the Above the Line series, Christian producers find that Hollywood is a hard place to work and hold true to their values. Meanwhile, college students also face temptations and challenges that pull them away from what they have always believed and how they have always lived. Kingsbury's characters are well-developed and interesting to follow, but her writing sometimes seems unpolished.

This third book in the Above the Line series looks at issues and temptations faced within a marriage as well as issues and temptations faced by college students, all within the context of a production company making films as missionary work to try to reach the secular world with a message about how life should be lived. I enjoy following the characters, both those new to this series and those from previous series (the Flanigan and Baxter families), but I often get the sense that Kingsbury's books are rushed to publication without thorough enough editing.

This final book in the Above the Line series tackles tough issues, as one character struggles with an unplanned pregnancy and another makes some terrible and public lifestyle choices. As with other Kingsbury books, I enjoy the characters and the story line, but I sense that the book was rushed to publication and that more thorough editing was needed.

Fans of Bailey Flanigan and the Baxter family will be happy to find a new series following their further adventures. This book picks up where the Above the Line series left off, focusing more on Bailiey's pursuit of an acting career and on her relationships. As with other Kingsbury books, I enjoy following the characters and the story line, but I often feel like better editing was needed and like the book was rushed to completion.
