Though only 3 of the books in the series are listed in this set, (it's all I could find on the site), the ENTIRE series is great. If there are any young people in your life (girls especially), this is a great series to get them hooked on the joys of reading while they're still young!
The first half I read in one sitting, the second half took a few and I found myself more easily distracted from it. The book as a whole was convincing and sad and a bit slow - definitely a book about characters rather than plot. I read it as a novel and have trouble seeing it as a book of linked stories.
