It seems that we enter this world of the happy cousins, Lily, Rosie and Tess at the wrong time as their happy existence together is coming to an end. Nothing tragic is going to occur, it is merely that their parents are returning from a world tour and the two sisters Lily and Rosie and their cousin, Tess, are returning to their regular and separate homes located at some distance from one another. They had temporarily been all staying with their beloved Aunt Lucy and loving loved every second they had been sharing the same household.
This story may seem a bit idyllic but nevertheless a pleasant world to visit. Readers, including tweens, who picks up this book, may just go along for the relaxing ride. Following the realization about their imminent separation, the cousins start to make the best of the situation as they realize that they can look forward to future get-togethers and they can especially focus on the upcoming wedding of Aunt Lucy to Michael and Michael is a person the cousins all adore. Tweens will certainly benefit by learning from reading of characters that cope with one of life’s disappointment and make the best of a situation.
