As
seems to be my recent trend in book reading, I discovered the Brights Pond
series through a social network. I can’t remember if it was Facebook or a blog,
but I just love Joyce Magnin’s little village of Brights Pond.
I
started with Charlotte Figg Takes Over
Paradise, downloading it when it was free on the Kindle. Even though it is
the second book in the series, I didn’t feel like I missed out on anything,
except for reading about earlier adventures of the lovable characters who live
in Brights Pond.
My
next find was Griselda Takes Flight,
the third novel of Brights Pond. Equally entertaining, I met even more of the
town’s quirky residents.
These
books are a look back at a simpler time, a time when winning the biggest
pumpkin contest was the most important event in town. Or when a women’s
softball team didn’t have to be sponsored by a tavern. Or when we all knew that
prayers would always be answered.
I
have yet to read the first in the series, The
Prayers of Agnes Sparrow, but that is on my to-do list. Anyhoo, if you like
to read a book that is a total escape, full of clean fun, good humor, eccentric
folks and even a lesson or two, the novels of Brights Pond are for you. All of
Joyce’s books are available on Amazon.com and Barnes and Nobles.
