Publisher Description
Twelve-year-old homeschooled Olive is tired of being seen as “fragile” just because she has osteogenesis imperfecta (otherwise known as brittle bone disease) so she’s thrilled when she finally convinces her parents to let her attend Macklemore Elementary. Olive can’t wait to go to a traditional school and make the friends she’s always longed for, until a disastrous first day dashes her hopes of ever fitting in.

"The Main Street series by Ann M. Martin is a series I would recomend to anyone! It is one of my most favorite series that I have ever read! It is a story of 2 girls journey as they begin to live with their Grandma in Camden Falls. They meet new friends, work at their grandmas store and help others in need as they go to their first year of school in Camden Falls and fun summers!!! I give this book, author, and series 5 stars!"
— Hanna (5 out of 5 stars)

“Ariadne Meyers gives personality to each of the girls and brings warmth to grandmother Min. Characters abound—friends Nikki and Olivia and their family members, row house neighbors, fabric store helpers and customers. All have distinctive voices that enable listeners to differentiate them and follow their situations.”

“This story delves more easily into the sisters’ new lives, and…the novel does touch on the different ways children deal with loss. Readers drawn by the…quiet details will be pleased that more titles in the series are on the way.”
