Oh so sweet. A little drawn-out, with a very simple plot of 'does my new neighbor *really* think I'm ok as a friend?" Not worth much unless read with the others, which are richer & more interesting, I think.

But then, maybe some children this age do fret about relatively simple things and do want to feel as if someone understands them. And Violet's supportive family does understand her!

Bonus for the descriptions of easy, low-cost crafty activities like the matchbox dresser, the flower costume, and the knothole note exchange.
