I absolutely enjoyed reading this book. Mackenzie is such a conniving person though, she pushed Nikki down the ski slope thinking that she might fall and get hurt but instead Nikki won the ski competition and Mackenzie was angry even though it was her fault that she lost. I was so happy when Brandon and Nikki had their kiss because that serves Mackenzie right for ruining their kiss at the Sweetheart Dance.

I loved this book but again reading another dork diary book Mackenzie really annoyed me, she literally stole Nikki's diary. Reading the stuff Mackenzie wrote in Nikki's diary further heightened my belief that she is just an insecure girl but is also a big hypocrite. Mackenzie was a total drama queen! Overall this book was so good and I had fun reading it!

I thought this book was very good and I especially enjoyed it because I had just read Holes and this was a type of sequel about Armpit and X-Ray. In this book and also in Holes I didn't really like X-Ray. In holes I I didnt like some things that he did. And in small steps I felt that he shouldn't have associated himself with someone who had also been in a correctional facility as it might lead you to bad things with them and cause more trouble so when he reached out to Armpit I questioned that a lot but overall I really enjoyed this book.

This book is brilliant! As it is the last in the 10 book murder most unladylike series I would recommend reading a few others before this one. Daisy, Hazel, Amina, Alexander and George are taking a ship to Egypt!

On their first night they wake up to a horrific scream. They’re fellow passenger is dead! Everyone points to her daughter Heppy who is known to sleepwalk. The most obvious assumption is that she killed her mother in her sleep, but how could that possibly be if Heppy is locked in her cabin? Together they must find out what happened before the ship docks at Aswan.

I really enjoyed this book! The english is quite old and sometimes hard to understand but other then that its great. Its about 4 sisters and its set in the American civil war times. It has a lovely meaning which is to be grateful for what you have and to be kind to others. 😁
