The 1990s weren’t exactly a rich time for teen lit - even if characters in books like The Baby-Sitters Club would define the decade for many preteen girls. (A fact underscored by Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret’s long-awaited film adaptation, which is poised to introduce Blume’s book to a whole new generation.) But for fans of the genre, it’s worth noting: We are amidst another golden age of teen literature. Martin has used in this delightful historical series.Readers don’t need to look much further than English class standards like The Outsiders and Judy Blume’s one-woman cottage industry of iconic characters for accurate coming-of-age stories. I love the attention master storyteller Ann M. Each a decade away but filled with so much. A cast of strong and courageous young women and describing the years they grow up in. My review: What a lovely and heartfelt series this was!! I enjoyed it from the first book about Abby, then Dana her daughter in the second book, granddaughter Francie and ending with her great-granddaughter Georgia. The result is a remarkable look at four generations.

The family story begins with Abby’s, then continues in the next three Family Tree books, focusing on the lives of Abby’s daughter Dana, her granddaughter Francie, and her great-granddaughter Georgia. Martin brings the past and the present together one girlhood at a time. In this incredible new series, bestselling Ann M. There will also be goodbyes to say and hard choices to make.

Soon there will be new siblings to take care of, a new house to move into, and new friends to meet. She’s known her other best friend, Sarah, forever and doesn’t think they’ll ever be apart. One of the best friends is a boy names Orrin, whom her father doesn’t want her talking to. She lives with her quiet mother, her angry father, and sometimes annoying sometimes sweet sister, Rose, in a small town in Maine. It’s 1930 and Abby Nichols can’t imagine what her future holds. What these books are about: Friendship and family, Life and death.
