I haven't read a chapter book since my first Katie Kazoo read, and let me tell you this book was just as good in its own way.
The voice(s) were light and pretty distinctive. The story had a beat to it which in my opinion is good if you want readers of that age to keep reading and not give up on your story.
The antagonist was so perfectly typical (not in a bad way) that I found myself chuckling when I was reading some of the "situations" the Wicket got into. This is definitel More...

I loved the first book and eagerly opened this second volume. This time around it's Durindas turn to discover her power. She has the ability to freeze most people in place for some amount of time (ranging from seven minutes to almost an hour), and others not at all. Her cat Dandruff, has also developped this power. The antics with Wickett continue, as does Pete's saving them in the nick of time. Valentine's Day rolls around and the girls all jealously make Will valentine's and demand to know who

The Sisters Eight is about 8 girls whom will be 8 years old possibly soon, and they're parent's "disappear" and they get notes under movable the stone in the Living room..."magically", I really didn't enjoy this book, though I did kind of enjoy the first one.
But that's just my opinion, I would recommend it to younger kids, more into the 5-7 range.
I never really could get into Annie driving and them having magical abilities and stuff, and them paying the bills....I More...

The story continues just as wonderfully in Book 2! The fantstical imaginings are very engaging and the mystery and adventures are really expanding nicely. The dialogue is still wonderfully witty. And there is a great "Mary Poppins" twist in this story that is very endearing and brings a bit more "magic" into the storyline. Also, the powers that the sisters are discovering are taking more shape and their charcaters are developing nicely. It is a lot of fun discovering more abo

We're moving on to book 3 and Annabelle's still LOVING these. I find the author's need to include ALL 8 sister's input in every piece of dialogue in the book to be SUPER exhausting, Mindi said.
"I agree", said Durinda.
"Oh me too", Georgia enthusiastically replied.
"Yep, yep," Annie affirmed.
"Absolutely!" Zinnia agreed, wholeheartedly.
"Indeed" replied a timid Jackie...
etc. etc. etc.
Exhausting.

In this book 2 from the Sisters 8 series, the second oldest sister finds her power and gift. The sisters decide to share their situation with a couple of people. The story takes place in the month of February, with an emphasis on Valentine's Day. I'm predicting that the next book will take place in March and with the third oldest sister. We still don't know what happened to their parents!

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.

Alright-- this series is slowly growing on me. (Also, I love how easy it is to start and finish one book in one sitting. Small victory of the day.)

I'm embarassed to say I actually kind of like these books. There interseting. But come on, what kind of eight year old drives with out wrecking?!

I'm going to read this series for 8-12 year olds to see if it should be widely recommended. So far, only okay. Mostly fluff.

i can't figure out this series yet. my gut instinct is that it's not that great. and yet, i feel compelled to read it, so maybe i'm wrong. it reminds me a bit of spiderwick, not so much because of content but because of my own ambivalent response to it ...

Seven girls, seven cats, no parents... and one clue closer to making life normal again.
