From the publisher

Flora, Ruby, Olivia, and Nikki start their own summer book club when well-loved books start appearing on their doorsteps in the fifth of Ann Martin’s wonderful Main Street books.

Olivia and Nikki also get books, and soon the girls are starting their own book club – with some very interesting ties between the books they’re reading and the things they’re facing over the summer. But who’s their literary benefactor? The girls don’t need to read Nancy Drew to track down the answer….
