Aylesford Place #2
Neighborhood Hi Jinx
In the second book in the Aylesford Place series, new neighbors join those who already live on the street, and new escapades await those Aylesford Place residents over the course of another year, including a different fundraiser and different ways to celebrate events they have been celebrating for years. There is more laughter, more tears of joy, and more reasons for all of them to be thankful for all the ways that God has blessed them, and some of the laughter and tears should carry over to those reading the book.

Aylesford Place sounds like Heaven on Earth!
It has been a good while since I read the 1st Aylesford Place book & am glad I finally got to this 2nd one! I love the setting, & the characters, well, some of them are characters alright, & I love them! I like that the stories are humorous yet clean! I like that the author & I are "of an age" to share many of the same memories & "favorites". As a Christian, I especially like that Christian characters are good, decent people rather than psychopathic maniacs found so frequently in other books, & in TV & movies! I am SO looking forward to the rest of the series!

Reads like my teen diary. Ate a sandwich for lunch. Saw Jim and Sue holding hands. John said hi to me today. Except this story is about Adam and Alice and Brad and Allison and Chuck and Cora and Bertha and Melanie and about 30 other people. The previous book was good so I slogged almost halfway through this one thinking any day now something is going to happen. Any day now. Nope. I gave up.

A Totally Different Read
I kept expecting a mystery or an adventure. Almost stopped reading this book because it just kept an account of the activities of a block of people, but as I kept going I grew to enjoy these people and their faith, love, hope, gratitude and attitude of giving and sharing. Quite refreshing and motivating.

Outstanding
If you read the first book you will love this one. If you haven't read the first book you will be fine as they explain everything. Love the characters and plot of the book. Can't wait for book 3

Wouldn't it be great if we could all live in a community like Aylesford Place? It's a picture of America, the way it should be... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

This second Aylesford Place book gets pretty wild as the quirky residents arm themselves with paintball guns. And, I loved the romance that budded.

Another uplifting story in this series
Well worth reading this series. It’s both inspirational and well written with a little humor thrown in. It’s good clean reading.

I enjoyed the relationships of the characters. They seem to sincerely care for one another. Their righteousness was evident by how they loved one another. Aylesford Place seemed like a great place to live. I want to move in!

Neighborhood Hi Jinx is the second book in a series revolving a small,
interwoven neighborhood. The neighbors care deeply for each other. They all attend the same church. The have neighborhood traditions. They pray for each other, support each other, and meet each other's needs. There is little upset and little drama. In fact, nothing truely upsetting ever happens. These people live in a community I won't see until Heaven. Even the "difficult" people are relatively nice. These are cute stories and have a fairly clear, if simplistic, gospel presentation. I am debating on reading the third book - simply not sure I can take that much sugary sweetness.

This one didn't drive me crazy like the first one did. There was a lot less joking around but the plot wasn't as solid either. It seemed to be a series of small events rather than one long story although they were moving towards one event throughout most of the book. So maybe lots of little stories alongside the big one. Not annoying but I prefer a little more of an interwoven story.

Another great book from a great author!
Fantastic story of neighbors on Aylesford Place. Well developed characters that you fall in love with. Steve Demaree is a master at sucking you in on page one and leaving you wanting more. I highly recommend you read any of the series he writes. It amazes me his name is not a household word. He's the best least known author I've read.

Neighborhood Hi Jinx
Welcome back to Aylesford Place. This is the second book in the series. I had not read the first book before reading this one, so I was a bit confused about the characters to begin with. I enjoyed chuckling along with the neighbors as the play pranks on one another and smiled as they practiced acts of kindness.

I grew to really the people on Aylesford Place. I liked seeing the relationships grow and change. The book also gave me some ideas of good activities to do with my own neighborhood.

I might have gotten two chapters in. Extremely heavy on exposition.

Nice easy read
Very enjoyable read set in a neighborhood I would love to live in. Characters are people I would like to be friends with. Light Christian theme.

Beautiful Christian Read
I have thoroughly enjoyed the first two books. Following the lives and antics of the people living in Aylesbury has been wonderful and uplifting. With God in our lives we can make a difference as these people did.
