4.0 out of 5 stars Best MKA book I have! (And I have about 30+), December 6, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Mary-Kate & Ashley Sweet 16 #5: Starring You and Me: (Starring You and Me) (Mary-Kate and Ashley Sweet 16) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is #5 in MKA's "Sweet Sixteen" series for teenage girls.
With these books, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen star as themselves, two 16-year-olds from LA.

Ashley re-meets up with her rockstar boyfriend Brian, and Brian's bandmate, and MK & A's close friend, Penny. They don't live in LA, but went there because they're manager needed to talk to them that Sweetbriar's (that's Brian & Penny's band) CD "Starring You and Me" wasn't selling, and they were scared of being dropped by the label.
MK & A think up of a huge scheme to save Sweetbriar. To get them to perform a free gig, and to get LA's hottest DJ "Wild Will Withers" to host it. Trouble is, MK & A have no idea how to get Wild Will's attention!

MK has trouble when the Drama Club has hardly any members left. That meant MK & her friend Nathan have to do some serious recruiting if they wanted to perform Grease! MK finds Danielle, a born actress, who'd be gold at the Drama Club. But snooty Danielle couldn't care less, and MK has to do everything she can to make her change her mind!

And more trouble for MK, her boyfriend Jake feels neglected, after she spends so much time at the Drama Club. So Jake tries out singing "I'm A Little Teapot" to embarrass MK. And she's fuming at him!

Then Ashley dates Brian again, and Brian tries to tell her something, but he can't get it out of himself. Whatever it is - he still manages to kiss Ashley! Maybe it isn't important. Or is it?

Will Sweetbriar be dropped? Will the girls convince Wild Will to host the gig? Will they even find a venue for the gig? Is Danielle to give in to MK? What will MK do about Jake's embarrassing audition? What is Brian trying to tell Ashley?

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Mary-Kate & Ashley Sweet 16 #5: Starring You and Me: (Starring You and Me) (Mary-Kate and Ashley Sweet 16) (Mass Market Paperback)

In this story Mary- Kate and Ashley are playing themselves two 16-year old girls that live in LA.
Ashley was at the mall and she thought that the guy in the record shop looked like someone she knew. Turns out that it was her ex-boyfriend Brain and there other really close friend Penny. It was odd to see them in there because they don't live in LA, they live in Seattle. The reason that they were in town was because they are meeting their manager for their CD. Well it turns out that there CD Sweetbriar's is not doing to well and if they can't bring up their sales then they can not have a CD anymore.
When Mary-Kate and Ashley got together to think about what they where going to do to help their friends they came up with nothing. Until, suddenly Mary-Kate thought of the most superb thing. They will put on a concert for them and have the best DJ there. The best DJ in LA is Wild Will. But the trouble came when they didn't know how to get Wild Will there. They try a whole bunch of things to get a hold of them but they just couldn't.
Even though they look like they don't have problems, they sure do. Mary-Kate is having trouble with the Drama Club. Ashley is having boy trouble.
But in the End everything turned out okay.
