5.0 out of 5 stars A tragic story, December 12, 1999
By A Customer
I read this book when I was 11 and I became intrigued about the late Mary Rose. Me and my little sister used to play Mary Rose all the time--my sister was Mary Rose and I was someone else. I loved Veronica and Sachs' other books about the gang. I wanted to read more about Veronica and Mary Rose and I wrote the author in 1988 asking her if she was going to write another book about the late Mary ROse and she said she didn't think she ever would because in order for this book to work, the late Mary Rose would have to remain a mysterious figure. It was a cool letter from Sachs; hand-written and it included an autographed picture bookmark and her home address in San Francisco on the envelope! She says that it is really up to the reader to decide whether or not the late Mary Rose was a hero. THis book was different from the others in the series in that it takes place nearly three decades after the others, and this book deals with a serious tragedy thirty years before, which traumatized the family. A good book, albeit sad.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun book if you've read the "Veronica Ganz" books first, March 26, 2010
By 
I enjoyed reading this book because I'd already read the books about Amy and Laura, Veronica Ganz and Peter Wedemeyer, and this book has Veronica Ganz all grown up, married with kids and living in the 1960s or very early 1970s. The previous books were very clearly set in the late 1930s or the 1940s, by the political references and other clues. Veronica now has kids of her own and one of them, Mary Rose, is named after her aunt Mary Rose, Veronica's sister. We learn that the first Mary Rose died tragically in a fire after saving everyone else in her apartment building. The second Mary Rose gets interested in learning about her late aunt, and in the process uncovers a hidden family secret. It was cool to see Veronica and her little brother Stanley all grown up. I would recommend this book but you should really read Marilyn Sachs' other books first, at least "Veronica Ganz" and "Peter and Veronica", so you'll have some idea who everybody is.
