Rereading as an adult, there's some glimmers of darkness around the edge- when Stephanie is surprised Mrs. Chin paints life at the Sinclair house as rosy, or when Amy catches a glimpse of a scar on Stephanie's wrist (not the direct I thought it was going to take, but still pretty grim for a middle grade book...!) Ultimately the message is also that it's better to adapt with changes, and that there's often complexity below the surface of what looks like a idyllic situation.
There is some continuity from The Cook's Family as Ah-Way is still in Grandmother's life! ( )
