The characters are very innocent, and it's really refreshing after reading books with teenage-in-the-crazy-hormon-state LOL! :D Oh, that's awesome! You may consider adding Jacqueline Wilson's books to the list - I love them when I was a kid! Oh, and Roald Dahl books are amazing too! :)<br /><br />Thank you, Maja! <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10224746396123025992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-55266212319368620572012-04-16T14:06:50.314+07:002012-04-16T14:06:50.314+07:00I always enjoy stories about twins, I don't kn...I always enjoy stories about twins, I don't know why. I wonder how their voices were separated. I don't really read middle grade books if I can avoid them and 11-year-old protagonists are just a bit too young for me, but my kid will be old enough to read this kind of thing soon and I'm already making a list for her. I think I'll consider adding this one. <br />Lovely review, Hilda!Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-31269382990771736872012-04-13T21:27:48.699+07:002012-04-13T21:27:48.699+07:00I can't be even more agree with you, Celine! &...I can't be even more agree with you, Celine! <3 The cover is absolutely adorable!

I also have sisters, but I always wish I could have a twin!

It'll be just beyond amazing to have someone who will ALWAYS be there with you no matter what! <3<br /><br />Stargirl is a touching read, and I adore how realistic the book is!

The ending just seems a little abrupt for me. Well, most middle-grade titles left me feeling like, "What? This is the end??". But I assure you that it's still a good ending, Elena! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10224746396123025992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-53617025029242575172012-04-13T13:10:31.752+07:002012-04-13T13:10:31.752+07:00I haven't heard of this book before!!!

But I'm glad you found this book cute and fun overall (despite some dark issues)! It does sound fun and light. Maybe I'll have to check it out when I have extra time. :) Sorry to hear it wasn't exactly memorable.

I have two sisters but twins have always fascinated me!

As an only child, I'm fascinated by sibling stories and being twins makes it even more interesting! Jerry Spinelli isn't my favourite author either but I think he captures emotions quite well. I'm very curious about the ending now though! I hope it ended happily at least.elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098549352641704742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2125731505586165547.post-89571067334148155692012-04-13T03:02:00.468+07:002012-04-13T03:02:00.468+07:00TWINS!

Whether they're twins that fight or twins that are opposites or twins who are exactly the same, they always make me wish I had one! x)<br /><br />STARGIRL! Oh my gosh, Hilda, I thought I was alone in loving those books and I'm so glad I'm not :) Both books I read about her were sweet and adorable and realistic and touching, so if this book is anything like that, I think I'll adore it!<br /><br />AMAZING REVIEW! Thank you so much for sharing your honest thoughts, Hilda -- it may not have blown you away, but I'm still planning on reading it soon because I'm feeling like more J-Spinelli soon! :) <3Mimi Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04241457025232914551noreply@blogger.com
