When I first started reading this, I wasn't expecting it to be so good - I was only reading it because it fit a reading challenge category!! I was surprisingly, surprised!!
The Characters:
Carol - she was so sweet!!! I loved how she gets referring to the Psalms and how excited she got when other's got saved! She's adorable!
Mr. and Mrs. Cortland - they were nice too!!!! Mr. Cortland was very funny at times!
Andrew - a very normal brother-figure!! Haha!! I really liked him too!!
The Poos - yeah, Carol's group name made me smile, but I really liked all those girls!!! They learned quite a lot too!! :)
Stuart and Douglas - hahaha!!! They were great!!! Douglas's desire for good reminded me of myself! :D
Pamela - UGH! She okay, but I had a hard time really liking her!
Jock and Mary - who doesn't like a Scottish man and a British women!! ;) The author actually wrote out Jock's accent as he talked, so it was quite funny trying to read it!! I could really hear the accent in my head though!
Lionel and Janice - I LOVED THEM!!! They were both so wonderful!
The Story-line:
I haven't read a ton of books centered around London, England, but this was very enjoyable! :) I really liked the kids point of views - and their adventures!! And the Christian-content was amazing!!!!!! I mean, who gets so excited when they receive a little card with a Psalms written on it?! Carol, of course - and hopefully the rest of us too!! It was so lovely and the salvation message was wonderful!
All-in-all:
Loved it! It's a super easy, enjoyable read, and I know you people would enjoy it! :) I really recommend this to anyone! (In which, I already told my one younger sister she needs to read it! :D)
Side Note: I can't believe this is the 40th book I've read this year!
