review 1: Meh. Stereotypical spoiled, privileged, obsessed-with-fashion, and already has a cell phone girly girl. Sort of cute in places, annoying most of the rest of the time. Quick read though. I also really enjoyed the format: written in diary entries with lots of pictures, speech bubbles, text messages (really? An elementary age kid with a cell phone) and extra notes. Definitely a plus for that.
review 2: KIKI: MY STYLISH LIFE is a totally adorable chapter book for early readers -- one that will especially appeal to creative young girls, I think. Kiki is one of a trio of best friends who all live on the same street and who meet together to enjoy activities like pet spas or cupcake bakings. When the girls start an art project at school, Kiki is thrilled to show her ar... moretistic skills to the world by creating her own clothing designs that she will reveal at a fashion show. She just can't WAIT for the fun to begin!But then a new girl named Maxi moves in next door to Kiki, and Maxi seems to want to flaunt her own fashion abilities as well. The teacher thinks Kiki and Maxi should work together on their stylish creations, but Kiki thinks that Maxi is just a mean girl out to take over her life! What's a girl to do?!KIKI: MY STYLISH LIFE is the first of a fun series that explores the lives and passions of best friends in a format that is entirely appealing to young minds with shorter attention spans. Told in a diary format, the story alternates between short text and engaging illustrations that are sure to captivate girls of all ages. I'm absolutely POSITIVE that I would have been head over heels in LOVE with this series when I was about 8 years old or so -- I was enthralled with any book that was bold enough to experiment with its own style -- and a diary/scrapbook is definitely a fun way to tell the story.I enjoyed this read and I thank the publisher for providing me an advanced copy for the purposes of providing an honest review! less
