This book is great!!!!! Even though I started it today, by the first like 7 pages it is great.
And if you are 12 or so it gives you great tipsto handle little siters. Well if your not intrested you don't have to read this book. But if you are 12 or 11 then you should read this bok.

If you decide to read it I hope you enjoy it like me.
