We have read and reread all of the Blossom family books to our 6 year old, and each reading is still fresh. Betsy Byars has a gift for creating quirky and believable characters and situations that touch upon the essence of family and larger social relationships and their many facets. These are not "Leave it to Beaver" vignettes that resolve to apple pies cooling on the sill. Instead they tell the tales of a modified nuclear family with myriad stressors from within and without, and how we all get by better with a little help from a friend. Though written for young readers they make fine adult reading too.
