I have read the first two books in the series so far and have loved them. My daughter is in fourth grade and she has enjoyed them as well. Luckily I read the books before she does, and found out that this book doesn't let children believe in the magic of Christmas anymore. I was certainly shocked that this occured in a book that is written at a fifth grade level. I'm sure that my daughter is not the only one who still believes in Christmas. It is unfortunate, because the books are well written and have a great storyline for young girls.

I loved this book. I love this series. It is a reminder of the simple yet exciting stories that I read when I was a girl.
Flora and Ruby are orphaned when their parents died a year ago. They went to Camden Falls to live with their grandmother, Min. The books are about their adjustment to living there. I enjoyed 'TIS THE SEASON immensely because it was about Christmas. The traditions of a small town were fascinating and the kindness for others was overwhelming.
But this book wasn't dripping with honey. There is a particular story line of one of the kids in the book having to deal with abuse. One scene actually brought me to tears. The complex problems of the children are written with simplicity, and the problems are just a fact of life and not written with too much drama. I liked that because I think kids need to know that these things do happen in life, but we have to have the strength to live through them.
I loved the description used in the book. Ms. Martin described the decorating of Camdem Falls and I wanted to live there. This is another successful book in a wonderful series!

I love this book for what it teaches but be careful if your children don't know all the secrets of Christmas yet. Might be a good idea for parents to read first. Hope that makes sense.

I am a 41 year old woman and I consider reading to be a gift from God. I will soon be teaching school and I read everything I can get my hands on as I feel it is important to be a good role model for my future students in learning to read. When I was young I read The Little House on the Prairie series and I loved them! I have read each one of those books at least 5 times. This book was a truly wonderful book. It was so refreshing to read about the innocence of childhood through the world of these young girls. This is the first Main Street book I have read but I loved it so much that I ordered all the rest of them and I even pre-ordered the next one called Best Friends. If you have never read one of these books I suggest you start with the first one. Since this is a series it is always best to start that way! However, I can tell you a little without giving it away. It is about 2 sisters who live with their grandmother. Grandma owns a store and the girls help out there. They make friends who have their own lives highlighted and this makes for several nice subplots. Although the book is intended for young girls I enjoyed it because of its innocence and also it was very good! I stayed interested the whole way through and did not start reading other books like I usually do. Sometimes I will have 4-5 books going at one time. After all my years of reading I guess that I get bored with some of the adult reading. These books are wonderful and I will keep coming back for more!

I am 10 years old and I love these Main Street books.
After I read the review that said that this was defective, I really disagreed with that. I disagreed because I have all of the Main street books, and they all have the same kind of pages. Rough and not smooth on the edges. They are all like that and when I am just looking at them, I like to feel the edges of the book.
They are the greatest books I have ever read. The books are written so detailed and specific. The characters face there own problems and the friends always help each other get over it and make them feel better if they are feeling blue.
What's different about 'Tis the Season is that Flora and Ruby, the two main characters, know more people than the last two books and get to know more about what happens in Camden Falls. It seems like a nice place to live because all the stores and homes are really close and it's safe to wander about by yourself and talk to people.
I can't stop reading these books and I can't wait until the next book comes out.
