AWSOME TO READ AT AGE 16 ......DURING EXAM DAYS..!! LOVE IT!!

[Jess Farrar · Rating 2 out of 5]

Because the main characters are all in high school, I feel this book is a little off on its target audience. It's an easy read with mild content--although the characters are in high school, the only dilemmas faced are getting an A and fighting with friends. So, I had a hard time deciding figuring out what age group to recommend this to. A lower-level high schooler would enjoy this, and I believe it could get them reading. A fourth-grader would also identify with the story, and maybe see the main characters as role models for when she enters high school.

I am trying to stay gender-neutral, but let's be honest. The back of the book says "Real Books for Real Girls." And, the Olsen twins, with their dynasty of clothing, dolls, TV shows and movies, aren't exactly targeting boys. To be fair, the book's content could appeal to boys. There are male characters, and the female characters aren't too stereotyped (not like the Bratz!). But, with the Olsen twins on the cover, I doubt any boy would pick this one up.

Lastly, although I am sure the Olsen twins make a killing by putting their name on this (they did NOT write the book or any in the series), I really feel this book represents a somewhat earnest effort to capture girls' excitement about anything Olsen and transfer it to reading.

I really enjoyed. back in the days when you could get tickets for $25 each now they are over $100, in America. I really liked the ideas that the girls did to be able to get A* . but in the end being able to go to the concert due to winning tickets, the best thing.
