Last Tram to Lime Street is the second book in Joan Jonker's Molly and Nellie series. I loved this book as much as the first. Jonker is a wonderful storyteller who does a great job with developing characters that the reader grows to care for. The story moves at a nice leisurely pace. I can't wait to read book 3, but I think I am going to take a short break from the series. It's nice to know that I still have more of Molly, Nellie and their family and friends to look forward to and I don't want the series to end!
