From Publishers Weekly

The sequel to Martin's charming Stage Fright begins with Wendy White wishing she could, just once, be noticed as her young sister Katie always is. Winner of prizes without seeming to try, Katie also is unbeatable at spying and tattling on Wendy. The chance to get away from the pest comes when Wendy takes riding lessons, until Katie joins the class. Does this mean another feather for the smaller girl's crowded cap? Wendy fumes at the thought. She loves horses, and the teacher assures her she is a born rider. If the pest spoils things for her again, Wendy determines to play a really dirty trick on Katie. As Wendy tells the gently humorous and warm story, she proves that even battling siblings can become good friends. Sims's pictures capture the main events perfectly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Way to go, Ann M. Martin!, July 11, 1998

This review is from: Me and Katie (The Pest) (Library Binding)

Before reading Me and Katie (the pest), I read Stage Fright, which is the book that comes before it. I liked both books a lot, but especially Me and Katie (the Pest). Ann M. Martin kept me interested and the book was very realistic. I know, because I have a sister, too. It reminded me of two of her other books: Ten Kids, No Pets, and its sequel, Eleven Kids, One Summer. I am nine years old.

This review is from: Me and Katie (The Pest) (Paperback)

Having a little sister sister who tattles and spies is tough enough. But wendy's little sister Katie isn't just a pain... she's perfect. Katie does everything well: her walls are covered with awards and medals. Wendy feels like a total failure next to the pest. Why can't wendy do something right for a change?

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Me and Katie (The Pest) (Paperback)

Me and Katie (the pest) is about this girl named Wendy who thinks her sister Katie is a big pest. She's always spying and in to other people's belongings. Katie is always tattling on Wendy even if Wendy didn't do anything. the story is also about how Wendy gets jealous of Katie because Katie has a whole bunch of prizes and awards and she always trying to beat Wendy.

I think Ann M. Martin wanted us to know that we should accept what we've got and try our hardest at what we do. Even if its standing little siblings.

I like this book because it makes you want to keep reading and not put the book down. The story just makes you feel like your in the story with the character and the way the story goes it just makes it feel like your one of the characters.
