The second in the Beany Malone series. The first in the series by Lenora Mattingly Weber was published in 1948 with the setting seeing soldiers coming home from WWII. The series has continued to be reprinted for over 50 years! I think I sarted reading them in the mid 1960s, and though obviously dated, I am enjoying reading them again.

The Malones are a motherless family and Dad is a journalist. In the first book he left home to cover Pearl Harbor and in the second he's in Arizona recovering from pneumonia. The oldest daughter is in her twenties and has a 3 year old. They came back to her family home when her soldier husband was at war. There are 3 other girls and a boy in the family giving the author lots of plot opportunities! I've already got book 3 on the Kindle. ( )

I've been avoiding Beany Malone for years and years, laboring under the misapprehension that she was one of those books I dismiss as "soda shoppe romances". She's not. Well, maybe a little, but there's much more to Beany than that.

I started reading this book by accident. I was cleaning out my amazon inventory, trying to streamline my life. Beany's been in inventory for several years, and as I pulled her down from the shelf, it seemed more attractive to start reading than to continue working. I was skeptical but increasingly captivated as I went on.

It's a vanished world that Beany inhabits, one full of large skirts and small bedrooms, one where high school students who are actually held back in school due to academic nonperformance, and parent participation is optional.

The characters are believable, the plot is interesting if a little cluttered, and in short, I liked it much more than I expected to. Though I'm unclear on why Beany couldn't write that pivotal editorial herself.

The Beany Malone Series by Lenora Mattingly Weber. The 14 Book Collection includes, Meet the Malones; Beany Malone; Leave It to Beany; Beany and the Beckoning Road; Beany Has a Secret Life; Make a Wish for Me; Happy Birthday, Dear Beany; The More the Merrier; A Bright Star Falls; Welcome Stranger; Pick a New Dream; Tarry Awhile; Something Borrowed, Something Blue; Come Back, Wherever You Are. The Malones of Denver, Colorado are a warm open-hearted family with a welcoming home, open to friends and all others in need of physical and emotional nourishment. The series has the warmth and sense of solidarity intrinsic of wartimes and the post-war era. There is a general feeling of peace and simplicity. When the series opens, the Malone children are motherless, as Mary Malone has been dead for three years. The father, Martie Malone, is often absent due to his duties as editor of the Denver Call. Three of the four Malone children, Mary Fred, Johnny and Beany, live at home. The oldest Malone daughter, the beautiful, loving Elizabeth, has been married to Lieutenant Donald McCallin for one year. The Malones live on Barberry Street in a large, wide-bosomed gray stone home. Their surrounding neighbors are Mrs. Morrison Adams (known as Mrs. Socially-prominent Adams) in her red brick home with immaculate white trim and frilly curtains in the windows, and the imposing and stately home of the Judge Buell family.

Fun old books to read, sometimes slightly boring but mostly enjoyable! ( )
