About the book
No one in the Reverend Bell's family wants to leave the beloved old parish and move to Crestel New Town, where people haven't had the chance to become friends. It's up to the Bells to give them that chance. Before long the four children--Paul, Jane, Ginnie, and Angus--start looking for ways to help their father turn this unfriendly place into a close community. Then Ginnie and her new friend Admiral Oakley come up with a surefire way to bring everyone together. All the Bells pitch in for Ginnie's "Our Day" celebration. They're certain this is the right thing to do, but will the people of Crestel New Town feel the same way?
