It is
two years after the events in Canadian Summer. The Mitchells are
settled in their new home, Friendly Gables—and twins have just been
added to the family. With Mother recovering from the births and with
other changes in the household, the children must come to terms with
themselves in new ways. Joan’s first dance; Patsy loses her glasses;
Peter’s disastrous fight; Angela’s misadventure in the woods; Timmy’s
“good news”; and Catherine’s brush with fire —are only a few of the
incidents in the life of this busy, growing family. With her usual humor
and compassion, the author brings the Mitchell “trilogy” to a
satisfying close.
      Illustrated by the author.

      3rd book in the Mitchells Series
