I think that every female should have to read this book as soon as they come of age. I am going to share it every way that I can. It is like a book from an educated big sister looking out for us.

This group of 3 sisters and 1 brother has everything they need for stardom.  Why this is not already a megagroup is beyond me.  The first track "Breathless", if you've seen the video or heard the song on the radio, speaks for itself.  If you haven't, call your local top 40 radio station and request it.  NOW!!!  As for the rest I found it to be an exhilariting mix of American and Irish musics.  In particular track 4 "Say".  "Say" is a dance/romance hybrid.  The lyrics are exhilaratingly fresh.  The beat is sliding toward the uptempo but, is sufficently slow to appease the majority.  The CD is, in my humble opinion, a MUST HAVE!!!!

This coloring books is also approximately 9x12 and is a soft cover journal. The book has plenty of two-page spreads to keep the sisters coloring together for a while, even if they did one every single day. There are over 30 sets of coloring pages with dulpicate images on both sides of the spread. Some are labeled as big sister and little sister, while others are not. Some of them are printed on both the front and back of pages but there are a number of the image sets that are printed on one side of the page only so that the sisters can color with markers if they choose to without ruining another picture that was colored. I love that thoughtfulness of detail!

This journal encourages my girls to share time together in an engaging and mind strengthening yet relaxing activity. It is a joy to see them working together on pages and enjoying their time together. A definitely win!

1. Having snakes for hair would suck, that's what I think!!

Poor Medusa is a young girl with very unique problems.  One she's totally smokin' hot and doesn't know it at all, and two there is the little thing about snakes for hair.  You can't comb a set o' snakes and they draw unwanted attention to a pretty young lady.  What's a girl to do, freeze people who offend her, or become a loner and build up a tough exterior to keep people out?

Our story begins with Medusa in trouble for freezing some frigid girl for being a freakin' jerk :) We follow the tale of Medusa explaining how she is always in trouble and she really thinks that it is all her fault, as, due to the way her sisters and everyone else treat her, she has low self esteem. The author does a great job of building interest in the character of Medusa, as well as empathy for her and her situation.  We can all relate, right?! Am I right?! Yeah, you with the third nipple or that High School yearbook photo that you won't show anyone because you looked like a dang donkey with glasses.

Somewhere along the way, Medusa gets hit by a car driven by some jerk of a new guy at the school, and this is where her life begins to change. The new guy and his family feel so bad about what he has done, that they will not leave her alone with their stupid caring and bringing of food and other such contrite and apologetic behaviors. (Also their mom does not want to get sued. haha)She begins to make friends with these pesky people and soon she makes other friends as well.  She begins to open herself up to realize that not everyone is against her like her stupid sisters that never clean up after themselves and answer the door in their underwear....(because they're gross!!)

There are twists and turns along the way that I will not reveal because no one likes a spoiler, but suffice it to say that Medusa continues to learn that some people can be trusted and others cannot.  Just as she begins to trust people, some of them let her down. HARD!!  She does not take this and become bitter and retreat back to her former self, partly because she has already learned her lesson, but mostly because her friends are there for her when this happens and help her to keep her faith in humanity.  The villianous pair that hurt Medusa are not completely frozen in the end, but are handily taken care of by a plot hatched up by her and her friends.

Humor is also not lacking, which is always a plus in my book.  At one point Medusa wonders, as young girl with snakes for hair would, "Is it ok to carry a brown purse with black snakes?" There is also a funny part where she relates how people are talking about her behind her back and she overhears, "I wonder if the carpet matches the drapes?"(hahahaha oh, the implications that has in this story) and, "I wonder if she stole Donny using snake charming tricks?" Hahahaha

All in all a beautiful story about self consciousness and how our image of ourselves is typically an unfounded alternate reality that we create. What a better way to personify that in this genre than by using a character like Medusa who, although human in body, also has an obviously different appearance than everybody else. This is a story that most of us can relate to and a very refreshing and unique take on a very time tested theme.

Oh how I wish this book had been around when my kids were little!  My older daughter would DEFINITELY have gotten some good ideas from this book to try out on her little sister (who also loved to play with ANYTHING her big sister touched)!  This book is brilliant, funny and beautifully illustrated too!  Can't wait to buy it for my friends with little ones!!!

Lovely book!  I like how the author takes the big sister in a journey from confusion to frustrations only to arrive to understanding that there's so much love in everything, Love that is just growing bigger as her little sister is growing, to the point of "no return". I love the rhythm and the rimes - They make the book easy to read. I think this book will definitely help the older sisters/brothers to look into the bright side of having younger siblings to love and care for...

I love this book! I bought it three years ago for our now 5 year old, when her little brother was on the way. I recently purchased this book again as a gift to my friend's little girl before the arrival of her little brother! She was thrilled (: I would recommend this book for all new big sisters!

From page 1.... You are drawn into a world that suddenly becomes your own...as a woman, you fall into the "sisterhood" without even realizing it. You feel for and with these women like you 've known them all your life! You literally feel it in your heart....it 's not about religion it's about strong women in a time when all they had was each other and their faith.  I couldn't put it down  ut when I did....I wept( and I'm not a crier!). I've lost track of the number of times I've gone to this book for a personal lift.  And after each time I seem to come away having learned something new and feeling like a better person for it. Hold tight to your family sisters, friend "sisters ".  ,,,,,we are the glue! Share this with your daughters if you have any.  We women are a constant source of what is good, loyal, and are able to accept faults with the most beautiful sense of understanding!  Read this book....again......and again and you won't be disappointed but will feel wrapped in love and sisterhood...past and future. I just love,love,love this book!
