The Cassons are quite possibly my favorite #fictionalfamily. 💛🧡💜💖 If you enjoy middle grade fiction, check these out! Tagged is the last book in the series... I‘d recommend starting with Saffy‘s Angel. (Caddy‘s World is first chronologically, but was written later.)

Catching up for #readingresolutions!

I'm pairing this, one of my favorite pictures of me and my #siblings, with my favorite fictional siblings, the Cassons. They're the messiest, quirkiest, arty-est, most supportive, big-hearted-est siblings ever. We aren't quite as arty or chaotic as the Cassons, but I feel like this pic captures the spirit of the books quite well. 😏#aprilbookshowers

My pick for #comfortreads: Hilary McKay's Casson family series. I love them so much! Pictured appropriately on my Children's/YA shelf, with many more comfort reads in the background. (L.M. Montgomery!) #funfridayphoto

BarbaraJean @rubyslippersreads I'd recommend starting with Saffy's Angel. Saffy's Angel is the first book, and Caddy's World is a prequel--written later, but takes place first chronologically. Saffy's Angel is a great intro to the family. Caddy's World can really be read at any point, but I think it's nicer to have more background on the family through the other books first. 😊 8y
BarbaraJean @Librarianaut @BookInMyHands These books inspire such fierce love, and deservedly so!! 8y

And so I say goodbye to the Casson family... but I know I'll visit them again. This final volume is narrated by Rose... and I do have to say, I think I prefer the third-person narration of some of the other volumes. However, I love these characters so much, that it's hard to say anything bad about any of these books. And this closing passage is just perfect. 💜

Headed to Portland for a few days... and as always, paranoid about running out of reading material. Does anyone else have this fear?! I'm taking these two, I'm working on two more on my Kindle... and yet I'll still no doubt pick up books at Powell's. Because of course!
