I like how the plot was just the Music Man if Harold Hill was two people. They even named the librarian Marian and Flim and Flam are notorious con men. It was a great reference.
I think Granny's "backstory" was a bit contrived. You're telling me she just happens to have the EXACT SAME story but from the other perspective? I dunno about that.
Also in case you don't read into the series further, in Friends Forever #33 Marian makes ANOTHER appearance at the Dodge Junction library, both issues are illustrated by my GOAT Tony Fleecs, I'm happy he's as dedicated to details as I am.

Simply put... the lesson of this book is that family comes first. Also that Grannies are good for fixing things.

I'm surprised to say that this one was much better than expected. Sibling fighting is a tough concept but it was well put together

Pretty good story. Granny Smith not stopping until the brothers sorted themselves out was nice, and interesting about her backstory. I wonder if that will come into play later on.

This was very cute and any kid that likes My Little Pony will enjoy it.

I love Flim and Flam! The Bluth banana stand made me chuckle.
