I love the MAIN STREET series. I love the simplicity and innocence of the stories, but they are not by any stretch of the imagination cheesy or weak.
This installment was about Aunt Allie's adopting a new baby. Both Flora and Ruby are greatly surprised by this, and also delighted.
While Flora narrates some of what happens, this story was told mainly by Ruby.
Ruby has a few problems, such as not practicing for the Thanksgiving concert and messing up. She needs to accept responsibility for herself. That was a great side story, along with how all these different characters celebrate Thanksgiving. I especially loved the trip to New York City.
I highly recommend these books because of their simplicity and innocence, but also because they are entertaining, too. SPECIAL DELIVERY was another great installment. My fifth grade girls have been picking up these books and have been wanting more.
