The author's characterizations are excellent as she created unique personalities in Natty, Vivian, CeCe, and all the additional characters involved with the story. a delightful prelude that gives the reader a foretaste of the three main characters as 11-year-olds. Having done so adds sparkle to their personalities and should nicely tie into The Almond Inn Cozy Mysteries as the stories unfold.\"\u003c\/em\u003e Sydell Voeller, author of Merry Christmas, Marcie, Daisies are Forever, and more\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.13 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 27, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51778069627168,"sku":"9798223526568","price":8.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/87259d44c2ede715fb5354765325b585.webp?v=1780504658","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-almond-bark-christmas-candy-caper-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
