These books are SO GOOD. I can’t recommend them enough. I read them out loud to the girls and we all like them. This author does an excellent job.

Endearing-Laney is amazing, what a gift with people. Loved seeing them help Mr. B and how they incorporated his daughter into the garden. Missed Isa. Enjoyed Angie, Orlando, and Hexton playing a role as well and different dynamics of their friendship
