Reading this reminded me of my experience loving [b:Dear Mrs. Bird|36373413|Dear Mrs. Bird (The Emmy Lake Chronicles #1)|A.J.

I was charmed by [b:Away with the Penguins|52128084|Away with the Penguins|Hazel Prior|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1583442783l/52128084._SY75_.jpg|72920249] and was looking forward to reading the sequel but it didn't have the same magic. Be aware that this is very much a sequel and wouldn't work as a standalone read. The characters are as endearing as ever but the plot is not terribly satisfying.
