5.0
Middle grade realistic fiction. It was so fun to get back to the Peach family. After the summer on the Peach pie truck, the kids are settling in at home for a new school year. But then Dad's great Aunt Lucinda gives them a house! Well, sort of-- they can live in her house if they can renovate the lovingly nicknamed "Peach Pit" into a functional Bed and Breakfast by Thanksgiving. The kids work together with their Dad and two college "Handy-gals" to clean, renovate, and redecorate. But with money tight, time running out, and constant setbacks-- will they be able to get everything done in time?
This is a fun family story about each family member using their own strengths to be stronger together. In a house filled with secrets and history, the kids learn a lot and have a lot of challenges. Lucy wants her own space, Freddy wants to use his creative energy for everything, and Herb is trying to train the dogs and prove that even though he'd the youngest, he is a contributing member. I always like stories about home renovations since I grew up in a family of builders, and this one was a joy to listen to. Looking forward to book 3!
