The seven members of the Banks family all live in Number 17 at Cherry Tree Lane. Their neighbors include Admiral Boom, who lives in a house shaped like a ship, and Miss Lark, who has two dogs named Andrew and Willoughby. Caring for five kids takes a lot of effort, so Mr. and Mrs.Banks get a nanny named Mary Poppins. That was in the first book. Now, it's the third book, and it's the second time Mary Poppins has come back. This time, Jane, the oldest child in the family, and Michael, the second oldest, are going to the park so they can set off rockets in celebration of Guy Fawkes Day, a holiday celebrated in England. When Jane and Michael light their rocket, it shoots into the sky, but instead of exploding, it gives off just one spark. As the spark floats down to the ground, Jane and Michael can see that it's not a spark, it's Mary Poppins! All the children have many exciting adventures. In my opinion, this book was a little too similar to the other books in the Mary Poppins series, but it's really good,
