This might be my favorite of the series. It is so well done–both with how relatable Henry’s situation is to young readers and how wise the parents were. If you’re familiar with other books, you’ll recognize plenty of the characters! Each book is a stand-alone, but it’s sweet to see the friendships continue in different scenarios. A definite recommendation from me.
