Customer Reviews

Entertaining for all ages !

For those who love a book with well developed characters whose antics are realistic, with good suspense, and fun for a wide range of ages, "Ramshackle Roost" is worth your time. It is a story about a family of six who decide to move from their cramped apartment to a former boarding house for the summer. Their vacation holds excitement for each member of their hilarious family, along with a snobby young houseguest. This book reminds me of stories by Louisa May Alcott, but a little more lighthearted. I highly recommend it!
