"Klein's attention to detail Grace's debutante dress, cooking disasters, coping with the O'Keefe family, cousin Isobel's flights of fancy and her depth of insight into small town ways make this story come to life." --ReadPlus
"A strong salutation towards the joys of childhood and growing up... The themes throughout were relevant both at the time of publishing, and now re-publishing, and each girl offers her love and support to the reader through their respective trials, chapters, and adventures... A sentimental, intimately Australian series about four loving and warring sisters that is a must-read." --Reading Time
