five little peppers and how they grew

This book is not about any vegetable. It is about the life of five children in the past. The five peppers live in a small brown house and survive on breade brown flour and eachothers everlasting love. When three of the five children get sick, and Polly ( the eldest girl) temporarily looses her eyesight, the family is woven even tighter together. On one particular day , Phronsie (the youngest) wanders after a circus man and is brought home by a young boy by the name of Jasper. Mrs. Pepper was so happy that she invited him to stay for tea, and even gave him the last of their raisins. The children become friends and Penny is invited to stay at his Posh residence to recieve an education.Soon the two families join and continue their happy occasions. I thought this book would be boring, but it was actually quite interesting.
