MY REVIEW
Here we are again!! Number 23 in the Little Duck Pond series and feeling as fresh and captivating as the first in the series!!! It’s always so comforting to be reunited with the Duck Pond crew and discover new favourite characters and Clara may now be mine! And knowing this is the first in a little Clara trilogy makes me very happy!!
Clara is one of those dependable and quiet characters. Always putting others first but never grumbling about it despite having dreams and desires of her own. She takes on the task of re-taming the garden that her Gran has ‘let go’ despite knowing very little about gardening and thankfully gets help from the very lovely Rory, an old schoolfriend of hers.
Where Clara finds her happy is in baking, so there’s always that link to cakes somewhere around in these books!! And there’s many trials and tribulations for her to face throughout this book that will get you on her side and got me wondering just how I’d cope in her position as sometimes the weight of the world is put on her shoulder as she tries to please everyone.
I loved how we got to know Clara so well during this book – looking back on her past really allowed you to see what she has gone through, and why she is so keen to please and be kind as an adult. I really can’t wait to see what the author has in store for Clara as she starts to follow her dreams!! I want them to come true!!!
This is a super addition to the Little Duck Pond series, and can easily be read as a standalone if you’ve not read any of the previous books in the series! Roll on Book 24!!
