I didn't enjoy this quite as much as the first book, but this is still a really cute series. My main gripe is that, because of the choppy story-telling that jumps between different characters and often takes an omniscient look at all the characters, I'm not entirely sure what age this book would be suitable for. I read the Babysitters Club books when I was about eight, but they were far more structured. But would this book seem too babyish to someone a bit older? I'm also not sure how the sewing...more

I read my first MAIN STREET title in the fall of last year and was delighted with it. I have since recommended it to many of my students. I just finished NEEDLE AND THREAD, the second of the series, and fell in love with it all over again.

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!
Well, now I think I have to complete the series! I love Ann Martin, and just like she pulled me into the Baby Sitter's Club when I was a pre-teen, she's pulled me into the Main Steet series now that I'm endeavoring to be a librarian. I really like the diversity of the characters in this series.
I really liked the book Needle and Thread! I thought it was a really good book. I liked it because i could kind of relate to it! I would recemand it to people if they like realistic fiction books they can really relate to.
This book is my go-to literature over time periods when the library is closed. The Main Street series are a better experience on audio and I hate to say that the second in the series does not come in listening library as far as I have seen; leadiing to the first becoming more of a pleasing experience.
I think that Nikki's backround and the family changes some of the other characters are going through make this book a little more interesting.
the girls slowly get into the rhythm of their new life, including teaching knitting at their grandmother's store
The first book was good and I wanted to read the next one. I was disappointed...

This was a great book!! Ann M. Martin really puts the moral straight into her books!!
A friend will always be a friend. If you open your heart, you'll realize that.
Not as good as the 1st, but these books are DEFINETLY for younger girls.
Story of two sisters who are orphaned and must move to live with their grandmother. Sweet story of friendship and sisterhood.
Making more and more freinds day by day.

pretty good book not as good as the first one though
Really good. One of my favortie series. In like 4th grade.
Just like the first book in this series a great book for an 8 yr old
again i dont really remember what it was about
Great Book! I would reccomend it!
A fun book about friendship.
It was pretty nice.
A good follow-up to the first book, Welcome to Camden Falls. I continue to enjoy the setting as character. I wonder how long it will take Flora to adapt to her new town as Ruby so readily seemed to. (Or will Ruby backslide?) I do like that Flora acknowledges that the Row House residents are like a big family to her.
thanksgiving book!!! LOVED IT!!

As Flora and Ruby continue adjusting the Camden Falls, the school year begins. Following the girls until Thanksgiving, we find Ruby fitting it to her new town well, while Flora still longs for her home. Samantha really enjoys this series and I find the reader very pleasant.
I was so surprised by this new series. I really, really like it! Camden Falls sounds like such alovely place to live. Sort of the literary equivalent of Gilmore Girls' Stars Hollow.
Hmm. Let's all go have a cup of coffee at Luke's....

i love how it went thought a couple different months
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.
its about two girls flora and ruby who recently ,about 5 months,moved into cadem falls and is worring about how they are going to celebrate thankgiving without their parents, who recently died in a car crash
