Hermione's parents are separating - and although they're trying to deal with everything in the best way possible, it's difficult for Hermione not knowing who she'll end up living with, or where her home will be. At least she's got the school skiing trip to France to look forward to for a break from all the stress of being at home!
The Girls Can Vlog gang are all excited - vlogging about what to pack and how to look good and stay safe on the slopes. Unfortunately for them, Dakota (the prettiest and meanest girl in school) is also coming on the trip, and she's planning to do everything she can to cause trouble.
Will the Girls Can Vlog holiday fun be over as soon as it's begun?
An inspirational story about the power of vlogging - complete with tips for making your own vlogs!
The genre of this book is relationships mainly. This is the 3rd book of the girls can vlog series. I really enjoyed the book. This book really made me want to read it all the time. The book doesn’t make sense if you haven’t read the two before it as you get to know the characters and there personalities. In the book the girls go on a ski trip together where Hermione falls over and sprains her ankle. But a boy comes to save her and she falls in love. The book is funny, happy but sad and scary at points. The ending of the book makes you want to go read the next one. Near the end she finds out that her dad went off with another women called Amy. But she didn’t know Amy’s daughter as been bullying her as she was so annoyed with her mum. I would definitely recommend this book. I would say mainly for girls but could be read by either and about the age of 11+.

The Girls Can Vlog series is a must-read for anyone who wants to be a vlogger and anyone aged between 10-13, because these girls are amazing. They deal with real life issues, they’re not perfect, and their path to becoming vloggers is not about instant fame and success and money; they’re just normal thirteen-year-old girls who enjoy vlogging (among other things). Hashtag Hermione Wipeout was the one I was looking forward to the most, since Hermione is a bookworm like me and prefers books to humans most of the time (excluding Lucy, Abby and Jessie). Saying that, I am SUPER intrigued for Jessie’s book because she’s a mystery!
These books aren’t perfect (does thirteen-year-old Abby really have stilettos? I know thirteen-year-olds are the new thirty-year-olds, but come on. Not a chance that’s true. FYI at thirteen, I was in tracksuits, everyone I knew was in tracksuits) but they’re super fun and Hashtag Hermione Wipeout is another brilliant addition to the Girls Can Vlog series. As always, the vlogs themselves are fantastic to read about and they’re such quick reads that it feels like it’s over in the blink of an eye. I almost wish they were longer as I enjoy being with the girls.
Hermione is a great character, I loved her, I loved the trip to France, the skiing, the only thing I questioned was the so-called romance. I don’t know why this series has romance in it – they’re kids, they should be worried about whatever thirteen-year-olds are worried about not being in love and that’s not me tearing down a thirteen-year-old saying they can’t be in love, that’s me saying it doesn’t seem to come off, when these books are about the friendship these girls have and the issues they face, and Thierry feels shoe-horned in (he’s a couple years older than Hermione, that in itself is a red flag because while age difference isn’t a thing when you’re older, the difference between being thirteen and fifteen/sixteen is massive) and I just felt Hermione was a bit off in her own world there.
Hashtag Hermione Wipeout was a fantastic third addition. The plot of Hermione’s parents splitting up came across very real and Hermione’s reaction made my heart break a bit for her, because that can’t be a good thing to experience, no matter how old you are. Online bullying is also touched upon, which was handled well and I will never, for the life of me, understand why people go online to say mean things about other people. If that makes you feel better about your own life, then you seriously need to look at yourself hard. I can’t wait for Jazzy Jessie Going For Gold, I really love this series. Yes, there are some flaws, but I firmly believe this is a series kids can devour and love so much.
I really enjoyed this book really made me want to read it all time. The book doesn’t make sense if you haven’t read the two before. It shows how the girls try very hard to get what the want and what they wish to do. The book made me think forward and stayed in my mind all time how they work hard. I love this series of girls can vloge.
Really enjoy the series of these books and this book was a very quick read like the last one. I related much more to the character in this book as like her I am a book worm as well! Thought the ending was a bit naff though
This book is for kids and teenagers. Honestly it wasn't boring but it's not fantasy or science fiction. I would say it's more like the normal teenage drama.
(En realidad son 4,5 estrellas.) Este libro me ha encantado un montón aunque la única pega que le pongo y por eso le he dado un 4,5 es que como no sé si es la primera la segunda parte de esta historia pues nos cuentan la historia de los personajes que ya nos deberían de haber presentado en anteriores libros y pues eso. Este libro me lo regaló mi amiga hace 2 años y no me lo he leído hasta ahora y pues me lo deberías haber leído antes pero que el libro está súper guay.
5 stars, even if I found the drama to be a tad bit overkill, plus Hermione's mood swings were just EH. Plus I had hoped for a bit more skiing and less sitting around doing nothing at all. :|
The third book in the Girls Can Vlog series, just one more to go, though of course I am kind of hoping that we will just go back to Lucy again and have another round of books.
Hermione was an interesting character, I loved that she reads books, I love how enthusiastic she is about reading, and how she disappears into books. So I was definitely looking forward to this book, a whole book about Hermione!
And we get a few vlogs by her, and I loved them, it was so much fun to see her gush about books, about conventions (how I wish I could go to such a book convention), about her favourite characters (I agree with most of them, except for the Hermione (HP) one). I wish we could see her room, it is always something to read about a reading girl's bedroom, but it is another thing when we can see it. I want to see how full her room is. Is it just as bad as mine, back when I was a teenager and I just had a bedroom to stuff everything in (OK, these days it is still bad, and I got several rooms). :P I wish I could be so confident (and maybe less OMG privacy) to make vlogs about my books. I would probably gush a whole lot about my favourites, or about books I just read. Squee and fangirl when books are coming out. Book shimmy when I get a new book in my hands. Believe me, I do all those things a lot, just ask my boyfriend and friends.
The book is also about the divorce between Hermione's parents. I just wanted to hug her at times, but at other times I wanted to shake her. She was blaming her mom (and yes her mom was a bit eh at times), but sorry girl, these things don't just happen from one side. I knew what was going on with her dad before it was revealed at the end. It was just too obvious. And I also knew how she would take the news of it. :( I was also a bit sad for her because of the childish-ness of her parents. My word, hiding in the toilet because your ex husband is here and then apping your kid to see if he is gone? Whut? How old are you again? 5?
The ski trip was a delight, it already started off the right way with the trip to France. Ohhh, Karma sure dealt a stinky card to Dakota. Poor Kayleigh, I don't like the girl, but she sure doesn't deserve this. Ick! I probably should feel sorry for Dakota, given that I know how car/travel sickness is (urghhhh), but I just can't. She just kept being rude afterwards.
The ski trip itself was fun, though I felt sorry for Jessie. How did they make such a mistake? But thankfully they could still see each other and still make vlogs. I definitely loved the vlogs they made during the trip, and it was fun to see what topics they brought up. Not much skiing, but at least stuff to do with skiing. I also was happy for them that they are getting more and more views and subscribers. Astrid and Thierry were fun side-characters. Thierry was so sweet, though I wish he had made things clear from the start, then maybe it wouldn't have turned out to be such a mess. Still I liked our French bookguy. <3
I was shaking my head at Jessie. Really girl? Why didn't you just stay in your bed. Being kind is good, but is it really worth it now?
What more? Mm, I loved all the vlogs, before, during, and after the ski trip, there were loads of them, and I always enjoy reading them. I think one of my favourite would be Hermione and her Paw Paw, that one was just adorable!
I indeed agree with Morgan, Abby needs to sort out her love life. It was quite annoying to see her flirt with Ben even though he is in a relationship (maybe not that voluntarily though) with Dakota. Same goes for him though, he shouldn't flirt and send mixed signals. Plus I found it a bit unfair for Charlie. Poor guy. :(
There were just 2 things I didn't particularly like (and for 1 I will probably get burned by people, but eh): The drama was a bit too overkill (OMG worst day ever in my life, 5 minutes later, oh maybe not that bad *rolls eyes*). Especially the Youtube stuff. I am not saying that bullying is OK or racism for that matter, I was bullied myself, but really, Youtube is generally seen as a cesspool in regards to comments. Same go for many sites. Trolls are rampant everywhere, welcome to the internet. I generally don't even take much value in what is being said in the comments, nor do I even read them, unless I want to know if someone has a tracklist for the songs playing in the compilation of Nightcore I am listening to at the moment. But other than that, I avoid it. Again, I am not saying that bullying, or racism is good, but really I thought it was a bit overdone. Especially with Dakota popping in constantly for some magic reason to make a bad comment as well, but I guess is not the same as the racist comments (also really, why does she keep popping back, why not just ban her for once?). And then the revelation to who the troll was... eh, silly at best, rolling my eyes at worst. So yeah, it really could have done without all this.
Plus I was quite disappointed with the skiing trip. There wasn't that much skiing at all, it just felt too bad that x happened. When I read this was about a skiing trip I was just looking forward to skiing, or snowboarding as one of their friends is doing, but instead it was just a bit of skiing, then x happens, and then all we get is complaints all the time.
But all in all, a terrific book with lots of fun, a girl who loves books, a bit of skiing, lots and lots of vlogs, and much much more! I would highly recommend this book to everyone!
