[Amanda · Rating 5 out of 5]

A highly enjoyable story and a nice throwback to growing up in the eighties. Wholesome and heartwarming. Can't wait to read about the rest of the Sebastian sisters!

(I had to get all of these though inter-library loan since they are older)

It's dated, but sort of a charming look at what YA fiction and values was like back then.

A bit different and quite funny. Very enjoyable.
