Can you put me down for Nikki and Deja? I am always interested in beginning readers and first chapter books. This looks like a good one for my school library and my own kids.

I'd probably loan it to one of the 8th/9th grade kids I know rather than the friends of my own kids.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745786643511417426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908605519309482853.post-78083265046432958582009-01-27T17:17:00.000-07:002009-01-27T17:17:00.000-07:00Hi Carleen - I'd love to read HOT GIRL.
