I read this with my 12 year old daughter and found it to be refreshingly realistic. We're now reading Pinch Me, I'm Dreaming and enjoying that one even more so far.

OMG OMG OMG! Seriously Sassy is absolutely AMAZING! Maggi Gibson, you are one of my favourite authors ever! OMG OMG OMG!
OK, I've gotten the crazy part over with! Seriously Sassy really is brilliant. It combines music (and everybody likes music! *gasp*What do you mean you don't like music?!) and more important issues like saving the environment to make one seriously sassy book! I actually learnt a lot from this book about the environment and I think it's great because it will make a lot of people more aware of global warming and other stuff, while still being a great (and not boring ) read.
The characters were all very likeable, except for Magnus and a couple of Sassy's teachers, but that didn't matter because they were only minor characters and they weren't in it a lot.
I have 3 or 4 favourite characters! They are Sassy, her little sister Pip, Sassy's friend Cordelia. It's hard not to like Sassy, because she was so nice, and so well - sassy! And then there was Cordelia, who is a great friend to Sassy and hilarious too! I liked Pip because she was really funny but she was still really sweet. I hope we get to see more of her in the other books.
Another thing that I really loved in this book, and what made it more realistic, was Sassy's guitar tuning. I know that this might seem a bit random!-but if you play guitar you'll know how annoying it is in books and movies when people just pick up a guitar and start playing and don't tune it, yet it still sounds perfect! So, Maggi, thank you for making Sassy tune her guitar before she plays!
Does this book get a 5/5? No. Most definitely not. It get a 500000000/5! If you don't read Seriously Sassy, you are really missing out! It's written brilliantly, it's really witty and Maggi is genius at writing song lyrics! So, overall, Seriously Sassy is a total must-read!

Seriously Sassy is a hugely fun start to a series that’s perfect for younger readers.
Sassy is one hell of a main character. Her dedication to saving the planet is admirable and very impressive for a thirteen-year-old girl. She actually made me feel guilty for not staging tree-top protests and going to supermarkets. Sassy isn’t afraid to stand up for what she believes in and even get into trouble for it.
Another thing that makes me want to have been like Sassy when I was thirteen is her music. She dreams of being a star and using her songs and influence to help the planet. Her songs are even scattered throughout the novel. I loved how much music meant to her.
Surrounding the awesomeness that is Sassy are her Lolitaz obsessed little sister, Pip, psychic Goth best friend, Cordelia and two boys, Magnus and Twig, both vying for her affections. And I have to say that Twig was definitely my favourite of the boys. He seemed like Sassy’s perfect match.
I thoroughly enjoyed Seriously Sassy so I’ll definitely be reading the next two books, Pinch Me, I’m Dreaming and Crazy Days.

How fabulous is this book? It is so much fun and very witty. I loved Sassy! She is really sweet, somewhat melodramatic perhaps and has the marvelous ability of getting herself into the most ridiculous (and hilarious) situations. But you can't help but love her.
There are a whole cast of great characters, even the pet hamster plays a role. I really liked the story too - a really good message about helping others. It didn't matter at all that I hadn't read the other two books in the series, it was really easy to pick up what had happened previously. However, based on how much I enjoyed this one I would recommend that you read all three!
A really, really fun story that had me laughing out loud! I think the series will really appeal to both younger and older readers. Great fun!
