Combining the heart of her Newbery Honor-winning fiction and the spirit of her legendary Baby-Sitters Club series, Ann M. Martin introduces a timeless new series for girls.
Flora and Ruby do not want to move to Camden Falls. But they don't really have a choice -- their parents are dead and their grandmother, Min, is taking them in. It's strange to be in a new place. But luckily, it's a very welcoming place.
Min runs a sewing store, Needle & Thread, at the heart of Main Street in Camden Falls. There, Flora and Ruby become friends with Olivia, who likes to organize things, and Nikki, who lives on the wrong side of the tracks. Even if Flora and Ruby never expected it to, Camden Falls becomes their home . . . and its stories become a part of their stories.

Welcome to Camden Falls (Main Street Series #1)
I can't remember the last time I have been so pleasantly surprised by a book. I chose the first three books in Ann M. Martin's new series "Main Street" to review because my daughter wanted to read them. I picked up the first one, dreading it. Not sure why, maybe it was the whole "Baby-sitters Club" thing. My daughter went through a phase with these, and although I've never read one, I have a negative view of them. Don't know why.
By the time I was half-finished, I didn't want to put it down. Gentle story with realistic, modern characters in a small town. Not too sappy--we've got a 17-year-old with Down Syndrome, an older man trying to care for his wife, who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and a girl whose father is a verbally-abusive and mean drunk. Not what I expected. But then again, not much in this book was. I loved the wholesome, small-town atmosphere. I didn't want to visit amden Falls, i wanted to live there.
I genuinely liked this book, and its sequel, Needle and Thread. Now I'm on the third one, 'Tis the Season, and enjoying it just as much. Give 'em a try. You might just be as pleasantly surprised as I was.
