I love this series, and this one was just what I needed as the school year dragged to a close. While it's not the best one (Saffy's Angel still gets my vote for that), I find that any of these books make me happy and make me want to reread the rest of the list. A pleasure for sure!

I don't know why this is consider a children book. Like somethings are really inappropriate and I won't actually want children to read that.
Readers find the "family" interesting and fun but it is a little too much for me.
Reading is relaxing for me, this book didn't really complete that purpose.
A nine year old fussing over a guy. I don't want little girls to start thinking about such stuff. Rose was just too annoying. In short, I don't consider it a children book.

This book made me laugh so hard. Typical, colorful and crazy Casson family at it's best here. LOVED the cake baking adventure Saffy and Sarah had...lots of plot surprises in this book though that snuck up on me.

another chapter in the saga of the casson family. i can’t put my finger on it, but i love to read these stories–they feel very warm and cozy.

I review the whole series here.

This is the third book in the Casson Family series and it is just as fabulous as the first two. Love Love Love the Cassons!

Not quite as as good as the previous, but still very fun. I like David's development a lot.
