Out of the whole series, this has been my least favorite book. It just didn't have the same appeal of the rest of them, because Anne was barely in it. I had really grown fond of her, and as funny as her kids are (and they aren't even the main characters), it isn't the same. However, the book focuses on the Blythe children's friends. They are the children of the local pastor, who is a widower. They get into all sorts of hijinks (shockingly enough), and scandalize the town. It is funny to think of what wasconsidered "scandalous" back then, like chewing gum in public. Now we have people taking naked pictures and nobody bats an eye. But in the process of the story, their dad realizes that he needs to find another wife so his children can be raised properly, and their house be taken care of. How romantic!
