Reviews

[Krista the Krazy Kataloguer]

Of course I had to read a book with my name in it! It was a so-so story of two sisters-- sibling rivalry. And they didn't get rid of Krista!!

[Cheryl]

Very light and silly. Maybe better for 7-8 year old children. But I really don't like how Krista is so obsessed with her weight that she scolds her little sister for eating & playing like a normal healthy child. LFL find.
