As a long time Baby-Sitters club lover and collector, I was excited to see this new series by Ann M Martin.  I was a little disappointed to discover, that the books aren't really anything like her previous series.  Yes the books are about a group of friends,  Nikki, Olivia, Flora, and Ruby, but that's where the similarities end.  Instead of baby-sitting, the books talk a lot about sewing and small town life.  The Main Street books are a little bit more in depth and a little bit harder to read (sometimes slightly boring).  The characters are unique  and believable, but I always feel bad for them because such depressing things are happening in their lives.    All in all not a bad series, but not necessarily one that I would read over and over again.

3 - 'tis The Season (Main Street)
