Other reviews at The Book Babe's Reads. If I'm honest with you, I'll tell you that I love books with girl power. There is not one girl in this world who "needs" a guy to save her, and I love it when that crosses over into YA lit. It sends a great message, because there are so many girls out there ...

I enjoyed this book. It was a fun read but started bit slow and spent a lot of time introducing the team of girls versus actually moving the story forward. Then once the action got going it did seem to wrap up fairly quickly. I liked the three girls. If there was a sequel (which I do not see plann...

It wasn't that this was a bad book per say. It had its redeeming qualities. It was funny. I loved Cora. Nellie was pretty cool. Michiko, well it wasn't that I disliked her, I just found her part of the story a little more dull. Also, there were so many chacters and what not going on, it was a little...
