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.

Review From:
Cork
This book is 10 out of 10. There are 11 more books in the Captain underpants series. Book 12 is my favourite. Dav Pilkey books are also 10 out of 10 anyway my favourite part is when George, Harold and Captain underpants pass a litte boy and his mum. The little boy is awestruck to see a superhero in his undies with two random little boys. So I hope that gave you some useful information. It's a big thumbs up from me and I can't wait to see what Dav Pilkey comes up with next!

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. 😁
