The Saturdays by Elizabeth Enright

5.0

A story about a motherless family of 4 kids, who have their own adventures through their creativity and sometimes through their mistakes. The reason I loved this series and why I really liked reading it outloud to my kids was because these kids are good, smart, creative kids. They had their sibling squables, but they were always polite and had good manners. Their faults were recognized and admitted too and sometimes improved upon. They aren't your sugar coated, unrealistically perfect kids found in some books, but they aren't your whiney, bratty teenagers found in others. These books were just fun to read aloud because they were enjoyable real, but good characters.
