Humorous stories


(5 Sterne)

Thought this was a fun book. Took a little to get into it, but the stories with simple morals were quite funny. This group of girls get themselves into all kinds of predicaments, learning lessons along the way, and learning to be kind and generous.

I couldn't get into this. It just seemed too cheesy and silly. Not having read far it's hard to summarise the plot. Basically it's about a group of teenage girls who organise themselves into a club (iapparently it was the thing to do) called Sweet Sixteens as there are sixteen of them and they like to cook sweets. The first chapter involves a fundraising effort that goes a little too successfully for the teenage treasurer who struggles to count the $50 or so that they managed to raise. I thought it best to stop listening before I lost any more brain cells.

Best book to listen to on a rainy afternoon!
