Book Review: Main Street Series by Ann M. Martin

Main Street Series
(Photo is book #8)


Main Street Series

10 books
Type: Community life and friendship.
Style: Family-friendly, close-knit community, showing close friendship and community, not very descriptive or richly written.
Length: Fairly short - about 190-200 pages, print is fairly large. Better for younger children that can read well.
Age rating: 8-12
A series that shows a community helping others get over tragedy, forming relationships and bonds, close-knit friends and neighbors, etc. It's not a very rich book - just a bit of fun or amusement to take a break from deeper subjects. May be tedious for older readers, but amusing and entertaining for younger children and tweens.
Overall grade:  to 

A cute series, showing how friendship and community life can help you get over tragedies and overcoming problems and challenges. It's nicely paced, taking a somewhat sleepy, boring town into something more exciting. Overall, a pretty good read.

  5. R u kidding me???
    This series is SO tedious!! I mean, boring for little kids 2, not just older kids. I mean, Main Street...?? No depth of characters, tragedy is not portrayed properly, characters are not complicated, just plain dull.
    Trust me, kids should be reading better literature.

  9. I'm sorry, Dylan, but I'm not "intellectual and serious all of the time".
    We can read harmless literature wen we want, but it can at least be quality literature.

    If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

    And it's true. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

    I like the writing in Little Women better, but the plot in Narnia is a lot better.
    C.S. Lewis came up with a brilliant plot, but it is not told as well as Little Women, which is a calmer subject.
