I have to occasionally go back and read this series. Blossom is probably one of my all-time favorite fictional heroines and many seem to actually remember these books.

Another book from my childhood that I cannot depart with. The first time I read this story was when I was about 8(? ... years ago) because I was grounded. I had done something to upset my mother and she sent me to my room, saying "No TV, radio, or toys for the rest of the day! Read a book!" And being the 'gotta-have-the-last-word'...
