Grandma’s Attic series is a fun, enjoyable series that you will treasure. The first book in this series is In Grandma’s Attic. I read this book and More Stories from Grandma’s Attic. I liked hearing about how when Mabel was a little girl, just as much as Arleta did. What I loved the most about these books is that the stories did have lessons with them. All the mischief that Mabel got into was entertaining to read. Besides Mabel, it was fun to get to know the rest of the family…Pa, Ma, and her two brothers, Rueben and Roy. There were so many amusing stories that I can not pick just one as my favorite. These books would make the perfect gift to share with your mom, sibling or grand children.

I think it was a entertaining and edifying bunch of connected and well written stories about mabel and her friend sarah jane (everyone needs a sarah jane in their life) and their shennanigans. I read all the books up to the 6th, but sometimes mabel is so foolish but aren't we all at times. Besides my brief iritations with mabel and some theological issues that are iritating too (for example "God loves everyone and all He knows is how to love which isnt true if you read scripture and how people should spread the Gospel through actions rather than scripture which is in other books in the series but still we need to use both scripture and actions... sorry for my rant) besides my occasional ill feelings, i recommend Grandmas Attic :)

I just finished this second book in the Grandma's Attic series. It was ok but the adults were still pretty demeaning toward the children. I did like reading the story about how the little girl tried to win a contest at school with a book being the prize. I like to collect antique books and have several in my collection that were given as prizes in school and Sunday school. At a time when most homes only had a handful of books, if that, I'm sure these books were very precious!
