A review by yapha
Best Kept Secret by Ann M. Martin

3.0

Francie is Dana's daughter and Abby's granddaughter in this third book which continues their family saga. Like the other two, it skips large portions of their lives to trace Francie's life from third grade through college. In it, Francie has to deal with assorted changes in her life, including death, divorce, and friends moving schools. As this series continues, I find myself less and less interested in what happens to the characters. Too much time passes and there is not enough room to learn enough about them. It is a great idea for a series, but it is lacking in the execution. Recommended for die hard fans only, grades 5 & up.
