This book was so cute. It brought me back to a world I love. I only wish it hadn't been tied up so neatly, and that there had been more Doc MacNeil. with accent.

This is the last novella in the series, and it doesn't wrap things up at all... I think they just stopped because there probably wasn't enough interest. And I see why...
It wasn't poorly written, it just introduced a brand new character, Christy's brother George. He was mentioned in the novel in passing, I think. Here the conflict centers around at first Christy's envy of her brother's easy way of capturing the hearts of everyone around him, and also her suspicion that there's something he's not telling her when he ends up in Cutter Gap out of nowhere. Turns out he stole some money... or so she thinks... and had to flee school. Then his roommate turns up, and Christy's frantic parents write her, and the real story comes out.
All of the stories are written simplistically enough to be easy, very quick reads.

SURPRISE! Christys brother George pays a visit, he is not good at letter writing and drops in unannounced. He is charming, kind and something doesn't seem quite right.
spoiler alert below
What is he running from, is he in trouble at Boarding School?
Covering for a friend but Doctor Neil McNeil and Christy sort things out to a satisfactory conclusion.

This is a great book of standing by family. Being honest, and making sure you don't let others have the blame for your doings
