Another great book , my children loved this book

This series has been just a delight to dip into every few weeks this year. Charming and I'm still baffled how I never read these as a kid!

Describes the All-of-a-Kind Family's experiences uptown (having moved to the Bronx from the Lower East Side) and during World War I. Found it as interesting as the others.

This one has more blending of light and dark. I laughed at a lot of moments and then mourned at others. I don't want to give away spoilers, but I'll just say that I feel things strongly along with the characters!

Amazing!

When Mama goes into the hospital for an operation, Ella steps up and takes care of the family.

I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as the others in the series. There wasn't one particular chapter that grabbed me in this book. It may be that I enjoyed the others more because they were mostly about light childhood fun (saving up to buy candy!) rather than the more grown-up concerns here of hospitalizations and boyfriends participating in WWI. Still a good read, though.

Well written kids book.

World War i and all the things people did to help with the war effort was very interesting.

The family is in their new "duplex" uptown. Early on is a hilarious story about a mistaken dinner out.

Ella's beau is off to war, and Henny continues to be as outrageous as ever (I couldn't believe the story about the dress!).

Very good series! I listened to this volume on spotify.

Read with the 10 and 7-year-old. (I know I read this when I was a child too.) A nice continuation of the series.

Such a lovely visit with this family. Each character is unique, different, special. Ella has really grown up. Henny, well let's just say she still has some growing to do. And Sarah, Charlotte, Gertie, and of course, Charlie.
I enjoy the fact that they share different Jewish holidays in these books, not just the same ones over and over. They'll mention the others, but will dwell more on the new ones. This story takes place during WWI, so that's an added plus.

Enjoyable and recommended.

I just love these characters and how through their daily lives and adventures, readers learn about Jewish traditions. The characters aren't perfect, but the lessons they learn are universal and good. You can count on these books to have a happy ending in spite of whatever challenges are met. Sometimes I just need a "feel good" book, and these fit the bill.
