The author does a fine job of portraying small town America during the holiday season. Martin's writing is so descriptive that you truly feel you're right there walking along Main Street, down Aiken Avenue, and in the Row Houses where many of this small Massachusetts town live.

I have to admit to being on the fence about this story, though. There's so much conflict that it's a bit overwhelming at times. While the book ends on a happy note, I had a difficult time plodding through all t...more

I really love this series. When I first picked it up, I thought it would be just a fun read, what I call "fluff" but it is actually anything but. Ann Martin's characters are diverse - different races, religions, ages, levels of socioeconomic status and several suffer from various ailments and disabilities, but this diversity is not at the center of the plot or conflict; just like in everyday life, her characters are individual and unique. She also tackles difficult subjects, like a...more

I loved this book. I love this series. It is a reminder of the simple yet exciting stories that I read when I was a girl.

Flora and Ruby are orphaned when their parents died a year ago. They went to Camden Falls to live with their grandmother, Min. The books are about their adjustment to living there. I enjoyed 'TIS THE SEASON immensely because it was about Christmas. The traditions of a small town were fascinating and the ki...more

The Main Street series by Ann M. Martin is a series I would recomend to anyone! It is one of my most favorite series that I have ever read! It is a story of 2 girls journey as they begin to live with their Grandma in Camden Falls. They meet new friends, work at their grandmas store and help others in need as they go to their first year of school in Camden Falls and fun summers!!! I give this book, author, and series 5 stars!

Tis the Season
In this Main Street book, Flora and Ruby spend their first Christmas without their parents in Camden Falls. They learn the Camden Falls Christmas Tradition, while still struggling without their parents. The good thing is the 2 girls have good friends and a kind grandmother. Read this book and see what Christmas was like in Camden Falls.

I just finished this book. It is the last one of the series that I have :(. I have no sisters, but a cousin who is pretty much just the same. The age difference to my cousin and I and Flora and Ruby are about the same, and Min is exactly as energetic and fun as our grandmother! I think that the fact that they are about the same age as my cousin and I really adds to the interest because they act sort of like us and relate to us in some ways.

I read this book a few years ago and I really enjoyed it. It delves into some serious topics for a kid's book in a really good way yet kids can enjoy it. Just to note it talks about Santa if you get my drift. ( Not for young kids.)
Autumn Cook
This book was really good!!!

christmassy book! still good!!

The Baby Sitters were decent and I read them all, but I can tell that Martin has really grown as an author in this series. I am really enjoying them. Martin addresses tough topics for kids with sensitivity.

Julie
These are light, easy reads. I feel like I know the town and characters well. I'm glad Nikki's father has gone away and hope Olivia's family doesn't move.
Hayley
The reason that i gave it a 4 out of 5 stars is because i wish that it would have a better ending.

Good Christmas book. The only bad thing is that everything is like GOODY GOODY GUMDROPS AND EVERYTHING IS PERFECT. LA DEE DA DA DOO DA.

Camden Falls and its inhabitants aren't perfect, of course, but they're realistic. And most of them are kind, which I really like.
