This is one of the most fun books I remember reading from my Weekly REader Book Club. I have enjoyed it ever since. I reread it when I want a sense of innocence and reality check.
Carol Ryrie Brink creates a whole world with Kirby and Bitsy and the two young friends they make in Florida. The adventure is rolicking with plot twists and an array of engaging characters. I recommend this story for any parent to read with thier child from ages five and up...
