I enjoyed this book, though not as much as the others in the series. The title mistake was not being understanding enough of the feelings and perceptions of others. (Especially about NYC and how old friends don't always blend with new ones.) This is my honest and unbiased review. 

I'd recommend it to young readers who are going to invite their friends from a different type of community (urban, suburban, rural) to their own. Or those looking for a way to help adults help with community projects, such as saving a theater. 

I loved it when they got seventeen tickets for the carousel. It was easy to read the whole book in under an hour. The book was a happily-ever-after, meaningful, fun, entertaining, and has diverse characters. One child does briefly go missing, but it turns out fine, and another child nearly vomits. 

The theme is to be considerate of others. The setting of NYC, especially as a tourist, comes through well.
