I almost gave up on this book after disk 1.  I'm glad I stuck it out because it ended up being a decent children's realistic fiction story.  This small town had a lot of stuff going on around it.  Ann M. Martin touched on quite a few issues without being too graphic or too preachy.  I think this series would appeal to a lot of young girls because they could see themselves somewhere in the book.  She even managed to catch my attention with a small cliffhanger at the end.  Flora found a picture of her mother with Scary Mary".  Darn you Ann M. Martin, what's the connection?!" ( )

Summary: Flora and Ruby do not want to move to Camden Falls. But they don't really have a choice -- their parents are dead and their grandmother, Min, is taking them in. It's strange to be in a new place. But luckily, it's a very welcoming place. Min runs a sewing store, Needle & Thread, at the heart of Main Street in Camden Falls. There, Flora and Ruby become friends with Olivia, who likes to organize things, and Nikki, who lives on the wrong side of the tracks. Even if Flora and Ruby never expected it to, Camden Falls becomes their home . . . and its stories become a part of their stories.
Book 1 of the Main Street Series

Review: I want to be able to recommend books to a broad range of ages so I picked up this book. It was a sweet innocent story but obviously didn't hold my attention because it is for a younger audience. A nice story for young readers.
