Caddy Ever After by Hilary McKay
3.0
Caddy, Saffy, Indigo, and Rose are back in the next volume of the Casson family. This time it's a little different as all the children narrate throughout the book. Saffy and Sarah are dreading the upcoming Valentine's dance and Saffy is haunted by a balloon. Rose is still mooning over Tom in America and sets out to make him a perfect Valentine's Day card...as well as a perect night sky for herself. Indigo is determined to change the traditional rules for the dance. And Caddy is moving on after Michael. All of the stories are completely intertwined and we see more of the Casson family than we have before.
I still haven't liked any of the books quite as well as the first, Saffy's Angel. But this was a nice twist on the series--although I was hoping for a book all Caddy's own, as she is one of my favorite characters and I feel like we still don't know enough about her. I don't think that this one was as funny as the previous ones, either. Nonetheless, it is an important volume in the series.
