Reviews

The Stories Get Rather Confusing


(3 stars)

The stories get rather confusing and almost all have the same plots... very easy to run together with The Chronicles of Avonlea. (I cringe every time someone says "Avonlee-ah")

nice mixture ...


(3 stars)

... a little paranormal towards the end.
