Flora and Ruby are about to start their second summer in Camden Falls. An element of mystery is instantly added when someone-the girls don't know who-leaves copies of a very special book on their doorstep, with instructions to read and discuss it. Olivia and Nikki also get books, and soon the girls are starting their own book club-with some very interesting ties between the books they're reading and the things they're facing over the summer. But who's their literary benefactor? The girls don't need to read Nancy Drew to track down the answer . . .

She's always been the youngest girl in her class. Now she's the youngest girl in the whole school-and plenty of kids, both friends and bullies, are noticing.

by Martin Ann M

Flora and Ruby do not want to move to Camden Falls. But they don't really have a choice -- their parents are dead and their grandmother, Min, is taking them in. It's strange to be in a new place. But luckily, it's a very welcoming place. Min runs a sewing store, Needle & Thread, at the heart of Main Street in Camden Falls. There, Flora and Ruby become friends with Olivia, who likes to organize things, and Nikki, who lives on the wrong side of the tracks. Even if Flora and Ruby never expected it to, Camden Falls becomes their home...and its stories become a part of their stories.
