Review # 1 was written on 2020-02-19 00:00:00 Kristina Hallman I felt a little trepidation going into this because Caddy is my least favorite of the Casson kids. It's not that I dislike her, but she's so fluffy-headed I feel impatient when she takes center-stage... so it was a surprise that I actually wish she had more of a role in this book. It just seems unfair that she has such a walk-on role in "her" book. Rose takes center stage once again. And I'm afraid that I'm getting a little tired of her. As she gets older the rude/precocious naif persona gets a little tired; two years of book time don't seem to have made her any older. I also wasn't wild about the essays-as-chapters technique with the different kids writing. For one thing their voices weren't distinct enough, even though they are years apart in age. Also, the previous book made a big point about how Rose can hardly read or write, so I didn't believe that she could write the stories included here. But there were some very good and funny scenes, and McKay is as always excellent at capturing feelings.
