The vivacious young Holly, great granddaughter of legendary Holly Hobbie, cooks up some new activities not only for her best friends, Amy and Carrie, but also for the whole town in the new animated Holly Hobbie & Friends, Best Friends Forever. As in Surprise Party, Holly discovers anew what her and her elders share in common, though this time she puts her energy towards helping to build a home for a woman in need. Languishing from boredom on a hot summer day, Holly and the Hey Girls Team decide to take Aunt Jessie’s challenge to open their eyes to new, interesting activities. When they stumble across the decrepit Victorian mansion, Crow House, they decide to sneak back that night to glimpse the lady who dwells there. Guilt-ridden, Holly returns the next morning to meet Mrs. Annabelle Crow, who happens to have been a childhood friend of Holly’s grandmother. As their friendship evolves, Holly is appalled to discover Annabelle’s house will be soon demolished, and devises a new Clover town holiday to host a barn raising for her dear, old friend. This episode illustrates the power of community, as well as the individual inspiration needed to make a difference. The small-town atmosphere is enjoyable in this episode, as Holly speaks directly to the mayor to encourage his help in her dilemma. A few sing-alongs and an uncle who plays drums adds welcome musical elements to Best Friends Forever. —Trinie Dalton
