Review

Kate is a likeable, upbeat 10 year old girl. She lives with her parents and a sister and brother. She has the typical events and ups and downs of most 10 year old girls, and tells her story through words and many doodle type drawings, very reminiscent of Big Nate. At times, there is so much back and forth dialog that it gets somewhat confusing. Also, at times, the drawings give details not necessarily mentioned in the text. Overall, though, a good read for many middle age readers.

Overall Book Score: good
