Gotta love this book. My 4 yr old found it at our local library and did not want to return it, so we had to find a copy of our own.
It is a lot of fun to read and teaches kids that they don't have to do what their peers say they should do. If you have an interest or even a weird food you like kids, don't let your friends tell you to be like them, be YOURSELF.

This is one of the best books about sisters. We love this book. My youngest daughter and I had checked it out of our local library several times and decided we just had to have it.
It is a must read for all those families with sisters.

This book set off the series with a big bang!!
I am personally addicted to Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire series.
Her witty humor just grabs you and drags you along for a wild ride. You just can't help stayin' up late to finish it once you have started.
Sookie's personality is great you just can't help but wish you were her while reading it so you could be involved with Bill.
I am so addicted thanks to my Husband since he bought me my copy of Dead Until Dark.
I can't think of a better addiction than these books.

I have not yet viewed the movie, but this book was remarkable.
I have never read a book written in this manner and it was just wonderful to see how everyone involved in this viewed the entire experience.
I would definately recommend this book to anyone. I normally do not read this type of story but am very anxious to read more by Jodi Picoult.
I am glad I was turned to reading this by my sons girlfriend.

Absolutely hilarious. These books are a riot. The combination of humor and mystery are brilliantly combined.
Laugh out loud funny. Strongly recommened. Stephanie is one unique gal always in the way of trouble no matter how careful she might be.

My 7 yr old daughter (who is in an Accelerated Reading program) had gotten this book from her school library and we absolutely loved it. Because their school doesn't allow 1st graders to bring home library books we also checked it out of our public library, then she could read both at school and home.
It is a wonderful tale of adoption and how Ada (the child it is written about)associates her 3 names with each person/place they are given to her. This is the perfect story for any child but maybe even especially one from China. The artwork is astonishing as well. We marvelled at it each time we read it and we read it enough to practically memorize it, but that is not stopping us from wanting to own it. Children and adults both will enjoy this wonderful story.
