Book Poor

I had never heard of this series until we started homeschooling, but wish I had read these books long, long ago.  The big kids, and Z especially, adore the Melendy family.  M identifies with six-year-old Oliver Melendy, who is always getting into scrapes, and Z wants to be Mona Melendy, a real actress.


Pictured below is the third book, but if you'd like to begin at the beginning, try this one.

The four Melendy books not enough Elizabeth Enright for you?

We recently finished listening to (and loved) Gone Away Lake.  Try it, too!
