The Saturdays by Elizabeth Enright

We are working on The Saturdays by Elizabeth Enright.  Sadly, this is our last Beyond Five in a Row literature study but I guess all good things must come to an end (Chaucer).


Here is a summary of The Saturdays from  goodreads.

Meet the Melendys! Mona, the eldest, is thirteen. She has decided to become an actress and can recite poetry at the drop of a hat. Rush is twelve and a bit mischievous. Miranda is ten and a half. She loves dancing and painting pictures. Oliver is the youngest. At six, he is a calm and thoughtful person. They all live with their father, who is a writer, and Cuffy, their beloved housekeeper, who takes on the many roles of nurse, cook, substitute mother, grandmother, and aunt. 

This book has a lot of new topics for us, as well as a few topics we may just review.  See you on Saturday!
