A new neighbor has moved into the house next door on Cherry Tree Lane, and the Banks family are horrified. Only Mary Poppins has the magical wisdom to deal with the drama that threatens to engulf the whole street.

I love the whimsical writing and the funny magic! Mary Poppins is perfect as always, and the Banks children are silly and adorable. The plot has some interesting turns, and I love how all the neighbors on Cherry Tree Lane have their own little additions to the story.

Mary Poppins is just the right mixture of sweet and strict. She plays games with the children, but also lays down the law in the nursery. I love how she reacts to each twist in the plot with grace and elegance.

I’d give this a 3.5/5 star rating if that were an option. It was enjoyable in the end, but the companion of the House next door doesn’t age well in today’s world.

Not a fan, but I listened to the audio version which I'm positive contributed to this rating. The reader was incredibly annoying, loud, and some of the voices were racist. I also didn't love this story that much, kinda dull and rambling.

Read this with my kids (ages 4 yrs - 12 yrs). It was a cute story and gave more of a picture of Mary Poppins than the popular Disney movie. We all enjoyed it and will likely look for more of the series to read.
