Logging this bc the ending was very surprising and not at all how I expected the missing skates debacle to get figured out.

This was another childhood favorite of mine. Re-reading as an adult was fun and nostalgic. There are lots of good learning moments for kids in it, and it’s a book I’m happy to have for when I have kids of my own.

A little something to take the edge off

i swear i am going to become an absolute expert on children’s mysteries.
i didn’t know what to expect from a barbie mystery since the target age is younger than i usually read. rather than a bunch of clues all pointing to one specific culprit, the style was that each suspect had a possible motivation, and in the end you could basically pick one out of a hat. idk how to describe it better, but it was similar to the nancy drew pc games.
this one actually wasn’t bad at all, and it had a lot of girl drama with barbie acting as the exasperated therapist, which i liked.
i do have to complain about one thing though. while the doll dioramas were good, they were inconsistent about which girl was which. this book was about a team of five female skaters, and i could not figure out who was who because the text and the pictures would have conflicting information. in a mystery where you’re trying to figure out whodunnit, this was especially inconvenient.

Aunque es una historia infantil y para niños, yo he disfrutado mucho leyéndola, puede que tenga que ver que me encanta esta muñeca o porque es como esa historia que de pequeña no tuve la oportunidad de leer.
Tiene siete capítulos y la pluma de la autora es amena y lo explica todo con lujo de detalles, cosa que no se hace pesado, sino que se hace divertida y te dan ganas de investigar con Barbie, así que, te adentra en la historia sin más y no puedes parar de leer.
Todas las chicas me han caído genial, aunque al principio Julia e Ingrid no me cuadraban mucho, pero a medida que avanza la trama, te vas dando cuenta que es una historia de amistad, superación incluso y que te enseña una gran moraleja: “Uno no es bueno por el material que use, sino, por la habilidad que tenga”, o al menos es la moraleja que me ha dejado a mí.
Cabe destacar también las fotos tan bonitas y detalladas que hay entre los capítulos, que me han parecido un currazo y una pasada total.

Cute but generic Barbie book

Tiene una trama entretenida y sencilla de comprender.

Painting Julia to be crazy jealous just to have Meg be the thief? Rude. Everyone needed to leave Allie alone. Especially Barbie.

Cheesy, and not very engaging for young children. The pictures of posed Barbie dolls aren't even that entertaining. Overall, it has an okay message, but I wasn't impressed and neither were our girls.
