This is the 3rd book in the "Bright's Pond" series. Now that Griselda's
morbidly obese sister, Agnes Sparrow, is dieting at the nursing home,
Griselda learns to fly - literally, after a pilot makes an emergency
landing and creates excitement in the sleepy town of Bright's Pond.
Also going on amid plans for the annual Harvest Dance is Nate and Stella's plans to enter their pumpkin, "Bertha", in a contest for the biggest pumpkin. Stella also discovers her estranged brother is in the same nursing home as Agnes, in a coma. Adding to that mystery is a woman named Gilda Saucer who breezed into town, claiming to be his finance, but Stella and Griselda suspect that she is up to no good.
I really enjoyed this story, the same quirky characters in the previous Bright's Pond books make appearances here as well. It works as a stand alone novel, but I would recommend reading at least the first book in the series, The Prayers of Agnes Sparrow, to really understand the relationship between Griselda and her sister. I can't wait for book #4, (which has not been published yet), to once again visit the quirky, but lovable characters of Bright's Pond.
