About
this book:
“With a twin brother and five younger brothers, Mary Beth Mullet's house is in constant chaos. Her parents don't seem to mind the noise, but she needs a break from all the pestering and babysitting.

My personal Rating-
I enjoyed
this one. I can’t say it was a favorite, but it was a fun light read that
probably younger girls who are interested in the Amish would like better. ;)
See y’all
on Friday with a new review!
