From my six gear old daughter, “It was cool because there were actors and it was funny”.

I liked Rosie Moran’s hair

There’s a movie star in town and the kids and teacher love her… or do they?

[Kelsie Christensen · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one had a good message but the plot wasn’t my absolute favorite.

Who doesn't want to spend a day as a celebrity?

[Heidi-Marie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a cute one. I bet the whole series is just as good and I wouldn't mind reading another one or two. There are a lot of characters to get to know, so children wouldn't get bored with the same 3 or 4. And the idea of switching places--intentionally or unintentionally--would always make for an interesting plot. The writing style was not the greatest, but what 2nd-4th grader is going to be seriously judging that?

when they were visiting rosie the famous actress, she was mean in person. katie turns into rosie, she makes a fool of herself because she doesn't know how to act in the movie. so they don't want rosie in the movie anymore. katie switches back to herself. katie convinces the director to let rosie be in the movie and rosie becomes nice to her.
