McCall Smith has several different series and I follow a couple of them. But the 44 Scotland Street Series is my absolute favorite. I just love the quirky characters that live on that street. And in this tenth book they are all back. My favorite resident is 7 year-old Bertie. In this book Bertie is having the time of his life (and it is about time!). His mother is currently absent - having been detained in a Bedouin harem (that happened in the last book!). His paternal grandmother comes to help out. At last Bertie gets a break from all the things his mother makes him do - yoga, Italian lessons and psychotherapy just to name a few. She even lets him buy some jeans!! The other residents are also in the story with all sorts of problems and adventures. If you want a light-hearted series go back to the beginning and meet all of these great characters!
