A great book, I really enjoyed it and hope to see what expect tawny and jenny and fitz on the third book.

It's a wonderful children's book to read little by little and have fun with it really.

The characters are enjoyable and the plot can twist so unexpectedly sometimes that it will always get a smile from you I can assure.

A great read for any child's kindle and mom's kindles too =)

Yet another delightful Kibble Talk book! These books are so addictive. I came to love Tawny, Dinky, Gunner, and Jenny even more in this one, and loved the addition of Fitz, who reminded me so much of a kid I used to know in grade school. Didn't we all know someone like Fitz in grade school?

Tawny and Jenny are back hard at work helping greatest wishes come true, but this time they're not only trying to help Gunner with his fondest wish (which, the problems they face...hilarious), but they've got a couple of their own. There were so many touching moments with Tawny and her parents in this book...some family dynamics that I know will resonate with a lot of kids, but offered in such a fun and genuine way that it just feels like a real 5th grade Tawny is telling the story. Cynthia Port just has a fabulous way of presenting things in the wildly imaginative, totally hyperbolic way a 5th grader would see the world.

There was only one small thing that happened that kind of bothered me. When two fifth grade girls went alone to the mall to meet an adult male stranger whom they'd met once and who had completely creeped them out. That just had red flags waving like crazy in my mind! At least the second time they took an adult, but still... Other than that incident, I really enjoyed this story, and can't wait to read the third book!

Not worth the read

This book was not interesting. I dint think young adults or children will enjoy it. Very confusing and difficult to get into the story.
