The Would-Be-Goods:

(The Treasure Seekers, #2)by Edith Nesbit
Synopsis:
The children are eventually banished to the country, where they form the society of the Would-Be-Good to aid all of mankind and themselves in the bargain.
My Review:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ & ❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎
4.5 stars & 5/10 hearts. This sequel is even funnier than the first book. The children are so naïve and clever and bookish, and I love Uncle Albert! I remember laughing so hard the first time I read it, and even now I laughed aloud several times. I particularly love all the bookish allusions. ;)
A Favourite Quote: “It is impossible to go on being cross when your feet are in cold water; and there is something in the smooth messiness of clay, and not minding how dirty you get, that would soothe the savagest breast that ever beat.”
A Favourite Humorous Quote: “Oswald was attired in red paint and flour and pyjamas, for a clown. It is really IMPOSSIBLE to run speedfully in another man’s pyjamas.”
