Cute, but unbelievable. Some plot points come out of nowhere and the end leaves something to be desired.

I didn't read a ton of chapter book stuff, and read even less now, so the fact that The Prizewinners of Piedmont Place stuck with me as an enjoyable family competition romp is a surprise. This was a great nostalgia trip for me because I feel like I read this type of book many times growing up, and this felt like a great worthwhile update to the genre.
