Rockin' Review:
This book was well-written. This book was about the stories of two girls, and they even met time to time, and finally joining together in the end. This was a very good book. I think the author did a good job explaining things, like feelings, and making us feel things. And two stories at once... phew! Nice job, Harrison!
This is obviously going into a series. The last part was exciting, and it obviously was just starting a series. In fact, I wanted the story to go on. I didn't feel completely "full", like I had all my questions answered. But it was a good way to kick off a series.
This book was also unique in the Monster High world. It wasn't like the current Monster High line at all! It took place in the real world. But the change was well written about, and it only made the book more enjoyable. The only major monster teen we don't see is Ghoulia Yelps, but we got to see all the others! In fact, Clawdeen and Cleo are friends in this one, instead of big-time rivals! Nice change!
I really enjoyed this book, and suggest it! It's totally rockin'!!!
