A good series for upper elementary and middle school girls. These books include a lot of great book recommendations and fun, educational facts about authors and New England. Actually, not just New England, but all the places where the girls visited, including Wyoming, California, Minnesota, and Paris. Most young readers will probably find something to identify with among the main characters and their middle school problems.
As my ratings show, my enjoyment of the books decreased as the series progressed. The girls age in the series, and they enter high school in Book 4. Even though friendships and literature are still front and center, boys become a central theme, and I was put off by the way the girls behaved meekly when it came to relationships. Also, after the first few books, the over-the-top plot devices just got old.
