The Saturdays

by Elizabeth Enright

my cousin told me I'd like this. when it wasn't availale in my hometown library last year, I read gone-away lake instead, which was a fun but not really memorable story. the saturdays is about four siblings who decide to pool their weekly allowance and do something fun each saturday. unfortunately, after having read e. nesbit's the story of the treasure-seekers and the wouldbegoods, I have a hard time being impressed with any collection of children less hilarious and well-developed than the bastables. therefore I feel no need to read anymore of elizabeth enright's melendy quartet. sorry.
