Taking these five books as a whole, this is a very enjoyable series. I found the first book to be the one I struggled with the most, but after that I really enjoyed all of them. I think the character of Witch Baby is the most fleshed out and I can see why Block relates most to her.

I quite liked this story about airships and mysterious creatures.

This book went over really well when I read it at story time with preschoolers, although I bet it would work even better with slightly older kids

A pretty good representation of what it's like to be a big sibling.

I really wish I had had this book as a teenager, or heck, even a year ago when I was having a lot of body image issues. I think it really addresses that topic well for girls, particularly those of us who really enjoy women's magazines and popular culture and struggle with the images portrayed therein.

Probably my least favorite in the series, but perhaps I will like it more/understand it more when I'm a little older.

Who doesn't love a good baseball story?

I really enjoyed this look at the Puritans but I agree with many of the reviews written here: if you are not interested in theology, it might not be the book for you.

This book was actually quite funny. I had only read one of Crutcher's books before reading his autobiography, and I can definitely see how his work and life shape his writing. I laughed quite often while reading this book and I may pick up more of Crutcher's work as a result.
