Characters 4.8/5
.2 docked off becasue Jane and Michael bothered me at times. Overall, I enjoyed them but man at times I almost dnfed this book becasue they annoyed me. Mary was the saving grace of this book for me so that's why I upped the rating.
Plot 4/5
Some of the plot of this book was kind of a yikes because I couldn't tell where it was going. I felt like I could have skipped a few chapters and not really missed all that much. The book is about Mary and her adventures with the Banks's children and helping them. While I understand that, I felt like some of the chapters could be skipped entirely as they added nothing to the story for me.
Writing 5/5
The writing is whimsical as it should be for a book that it meant to be read to children. Had it not been for the writing keeping me engaged I would have dnfed this book.
Pace 4.5/5
The pace of the book was so stagnate in places and I didn't understand why. See the plot for more.
