This is the third book in the Sisters Eight series by Lauren Baratz-Logsted, Greg Logsted, and Jackie Logsted. Our oldest daughter discovered the first book of this series recently at our local library and fell in love immediately. We've borrowed the next few books in the series and she's read them quickly in succession.

owh..yess... the plot thickens....
Though it is nothing you wouldnt have already guessed.
I have more fun reading this third book than reading the previous two. Maybe because the main character in this book, Georgia, is somehow antagonized from the beginning that it is nice to see her becoming a lil' bit wiser here (she even uses the famous quote "with great power comes great responsibility"--or something like that). Not only Georgia, the other girls are becoming more mature as well, as expected...more

I like these. There are off funny lines and crazy things happening. A few holes in the story, yes, hence not quite four or five stars. But I do still think I shall have to get them for the school collection. Public library didn't have number two but oh well. There's a little recap of the story so far at the beginning of each one, so while it would assist the OCD reader in me to finish them in order ... it's not imperative.

And the adventure continues brilliantly in Book 3! This story adds a nice new twist in that the story begins to comment on itself, and on the pattern that is being created in how the books are written and how the powers, gifts, and adventures are unfolding. It begins to point out the writing process, such as "showing" a story rather than "telling" it - which was just brilliant, added a nice dose of humor to the already witty dialogue, and made the reader feel part of the adventure. Well done!
I liked the book but at the same time I didn't. I liked how Georgia's gift came early, I didn't like how Georgia sent it back. I liked their substitute teacher, I didn't like how Ms. Harkness kidnapped the McG and after the St.Patricks day parade at the school she kidnapped the eights(not including Georgia). I liked how Georgia's gift was to disappear, I thought it was odd how Georgia's power appeared on her cat before it appeared on her. I liked the book almost as much as the first and second b...more
This is the third book in a series about eight sisters. Georgia, the third sister, learns that her power is "invisibility". This power helps Georgia save her sisters when their real teacher is kidnapped and a substitute has evil plans for the eight girls. The impressive thing about this book is that the eight year old daughter of Lauren and Greg Baratz-Logsted has made this her literary debut. This series would work for second through fourth grade children.
I'm really liking this series. The characters are memorable and lovable. I'm really impressed, very few series designed for eight year olds hold my attention this long.
Last time Durinda found out her power and the sisters discovered the pattern of discovering their powers and gifts. This time it becomes evident that their cats gain the same powers they do, when they do. Poor Georgia, it's her month and everything should be going her way, but it's not. First a pigeon brings her gift on the first...more

Both my daughters love this new series starring eight eight-year-old sisters, mystery, adventure, and a huge dose of humor. The Huit sisters live in an unusual house, shared with eight unusual cats. In the way of multiples, the sisters find ways to distinguish themselves from one another, and Baratz-Logsted has done a brilliant job of imagining the conflicts and the joys of sisterhood. The set-up allows for each sister to discover a new and unexpected capacity within herself.

Can't remember library books ever having had such heavy usage at our house! In three weeks, I've read the series once, but C is halfway through a third round already!
Enjoying the series. Sorry to have read it out of order.
This book is part of a great series for readers just breaking in to chapter books and who like a little bit of magic.
Georgia can turn invisible.
