I loved this book -- I think maybe even more than "The Mockingbirds," but then again, it's almost like comparing apples and oranges, so I won't. Erskine's writing is just as good here, though, as with her last book, and she again manages to make readers fall in love with the quirky characters and humorous plot. I have read three really terrific middle grade novels in a row, each with three similar characteristics -- warm, small town settings filled with quirky characters, laugh-out-loud stories and children finding guidance, love and friendship from people around them.
