Product Description
Spring has arrived in Camden Falls, and with it have come many joys and challenges. As Flora and Ruby near the first anniversary of their arrival in town, Flora prepares for a visit from her old best friend. She's excited . . . but her new best friend, Olivia, isn't. Olivia's afraid she won't measure up, and that Flora will regret ever coming to Camden Falls. It's a very big reunion set for a very big day -- Camden Falls's 350th birthday celebration. Does one best friend truly have to be the best . . . or can they find a way to get along?

I just can't stop reading these delightful stories! BEST FRIENDS is the fourth book in the MAIN STREET series, and it wraps up the first year Flora and Ruby have in Camden Falls.
Annika, Flora's best friend from her old life, is coming to visit. She will be there for the 350th anniversary celebration of the town. There will be a parade, a play where Ruby is the star, and many contests.
Flora has written a book of interviews of the older people in Camden Falls, Olivia has entered photos of native wildlife, and Nikki has entered her art, which is a first for the Sherman family. Flora is so excited to have all her best friends together at the same place -- until it actually happens and they all seem to hate each other.
These books are very simple but very entertaining. These girls have modern problems that most girls have, but are in no way boring. I love this series and can't wait for the next one.

The Main Street series is exceptional. My nieces and I look forward to each new book and have already pre-ordered the next two in the series. The characters are very real and the storyline is plausible. We love these books and Ann Martin is definitely one of our favorite authors!

This book series is a touching, honest, refreshing and realistic portrayal of everyday life. The story of Ruby and Flora losing both parents, coming to live in a new town with their grandmother, attending a new school, making new friends and going about everyday life is captivating. My eight-year-old is mesmerized with all books in the series and can't wait for the next.
I would highly recommend this for girls and the adults in their lives too. It provides a good springboard for conversation about life and how to handle different situations.
