If you are looking for a nostalgic book that has charming characters I feel like this is a great series to try! I adore these characters and the plot is interesting enough and has enough going on that I am not overwhelmed but thoroughly captivated! I don't know how I managed to get through school without reading these books but I really wish I had because I think I would have enjoyed them even more when I was younger.

The strength of this story in my opinion is really the characters. The main characters are growing and learning from mentors that are just as interesting! There is also a found family element to these books that I suspect only gets stronger as the series goes on. The positivity and growth that these characters exhibit are a part of what makes this such a delight to read. On to the next one!
