1: Comical book
The book Permanent Rose is all about frindship,eight year old Rose tries to reconnect with Tom who moved back to America. The book was comical and taught me to enjoy life and not be too serious. It was a page turner and a book for all ages, old or young. It was also very humorous. I gave the book 4.5 stars out of 5 because it was a good book and one of my many favorites but not my number one favorite. I think all age groups would love this book and fall in love with Rose and the rest of the characters. Other books by Hilary McKay in this series are Indigo's Star and Saffy's Angel. All are really good books and award winners. I highly recomend this book.

2: Mytseries Rose
Mysteries Rose
Rose a girl that's a mystery ... who knows what will happen next in her live. Will Saffy find her father? Will Indigo find a new friend?
Permanent Rose by Hillary Mickay is about a girl named Rose. She is the youngest in her family; she has a brother named Indigo, her oldest sister named Cassy and her other sister named Saffy (who is not really her sister she her cousin.) Cassy came to live with them for the summer. As Cassy is engaged, she is still thinking about getting married. Saffy is on the hunt for her father. Indigo Roes brother needs a friend, Rose needs one too. Tom a person they new that was there best friend moved away to New York.
My favorite part of the book is when Rose follows Cassy onto a train to New York. Cassy went to New York because she was mad about getting engaged. Rose needs to give Cassy her new shinny diamond ring back because rose took it and Michael is mad at Cassy. Rose goes to New York and see's her dad, and her dad's girlfriend Samantha. Will Rose find Tom?
I think that the Authors purpose is that you will always a place for you even if you don't fit in.
I would recommend this book because you will never want to leave Rose's world and it's full of good and bad surprises.

3: Nearly likable Rose
It seems that once I began this children's series, I couldn't stop. I'd be embarrassed if I didn't enjoy them so much.
I enjoyed Rose in the previous books. I found her 8 year-old honesty refreshing and charming. Until I was faced with it as the focus of an entire book. Yes, I understand she's 8. Yes, I understand all that being that young encompasses. However, there were times when it was simply too much!
Rose basically used blackmail to get her way, and the fact that she was a little thief was never fully explored. The ending felt very rushed, and David's inclusion (Indigo's friend, and another example of how poor Indigo can't keep friends for himself because they all feel some connection to Rose) was fine, yet seemed trite with the ending.
All in all, I still enjoyed it, but would have liked more of the already established things from the previous 2 books. This one seemed to skimp on what makes the Casson's such a wonderful (if slightly odd but not quite dysfunctional) family.

4: Fun read for middle schoolers
As a middle school teacher, I am always looking for books I can recommend to reluctant readers. I just finished Permanent Rose (I read the books before I add them to my classroom library), and I am happy to say that this one is going to school with me. There is enough angst in the story to keep poor readers going and enough depth to satisfy the teacher in me. The English setting adds to the appeal--but does not get in the way of understand. The characters are fun despite (or because of) their faults, and face the same problems my preteen students face in suburban California. Loyalty to family, friends, and doing the right thing, even if it is difficult, are subtly brought out--without being preachy.
For more enjoyment, get the two prior novels and enjoy the changes in the characters. As they get older their problems become more serious--but with the support of family and friends, they manage to make difficult choices and handle life well.

Readers are sure to love the humor, mischief , and exciting experiences of the Casson family.
