4.0 out of 5 stars Really Good Book, February 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Lizzie McGuire: The Rise and Fall of the Kate Empire (Paperback)

I really liked this book because they are both very good episodes. Lizzie McGuire is my most favorite show that I have came across. In this book I found only a few flaws but other than that it was great. I found myself saying the phrases with the characters. It was word for word.
The first story is about Kate breaking her arm and losing her friends with it. Lizzie helps her out and I will let you find out if Kate getts her friends and followers back.
The second story was about Kate's birthday party. No one is allowed to go to Kate's 15th ( even though she says she is only 14)birthday party. Lizzie, Miranda, and Gordo all sneak out to the party anyway. When they get there it has turned into a collage party. Lizzie tries to help Kate take control of the party. Will she succeed?

This review is from: Lizzie McGuire: The Rise and Fall of the Kate Empire (Paperback)

I liked this book because it showed the difference between two types of people. Kate and Lizzie used to be best friends. But now, they are fighting.

These books are really easy to read. I can get thru one very quickly and then read another.
