Louly

This was a fun story that's a sequel to “Two Are Better Than One,” but I would have liked it better if it wasn't a sequel. Brink wrote the book years after the other, so Louly springs onto the page as though she's always existed in the town—but she hasn't. She wasn't so much as mentioned in the other book, but in this one she and the two girls are fast friends and it's only set one year later. This part of the plot would have worked much better if Louly had simply been new in town or have been away for a while, but nothing was ever explained.

Overall, a cute story set in the early 1900s and with some fun escapades by the children involved.

Content: the girls pretend to be someone else when they write a letter, but no one ever speaks to them about their having lied in the letter.
