Spring has arrived in Camden Falls, and with it have come many joys and challenges. As Flora and Ruby near the first anniversary of their arrival in town, Flora prepares for a visit from her old best friend, Annika. Flora's very excited...but her new best friend, Olivia, isn't. Olivia is afraid she won't measure up, and that Flora will regret ever coming to Camden Falls. It's a very big reunion set for a very big day--the town's 350th birthday celebration. Annika and Olivia immediately start fighting, with Flora caught in the middle. Does one best friend truly have to be the best...or can they find a way to get along? Ann M.
