about the books....
LONDON ART CHASE
In London Art Chase, the first title in the new Faithgirlz Glimmer Girls series, readers meet 10-year-old twins Mia and Maddie and their adorable little sister, LuLu. All the girls are smart, sassy, and unique in their own way, each with a special little something that adds to great family adventures. There is pure excitement in the family as the group heads to London for the first time to watch mom, famous singer Gloria Glimmer, perform. But on a day trip to the National Gallery, Maddie witnesses what she believes to be an art theft and takes her sisters and their beloved and wacky nanny Miss Julia, on a wild and crazy adventure as they follow the supposed thief to his lair. Will the Glimmer Girls save the day? And will Maddie find what makes her shine?
A DOLPHIN WISHJoin twins Mia and Maddie and their sidekick little sister, LuLu, as they travel the country finding adventure, mystery, and sometimes mischief along the way. Together with their famous mother, singer Gloria Glimmer, and their slightly wacky nanny Miss Twist, the sisters learn lessons about being good friends, telling the truth, and a whole lot more. In A Dolphin Wish a three-night stop in the city of San Diego seems like it might be just the break the girls need—lovely weather and great sights to see. That is until they hear animal handlers at “Watery World” talking about the trouble they’ve been having keeping the animals in their habitats. Mia and her sisters cannot resist a challenge and they talk Miss Twist into another visit to the educational amusement park to search for clues as to what or who is helping the animals escape.

my review....
You know it is the sign of a good book when members of my house keep stealing the book from each other so they can keep reading it! When the first two books of the Glimmer Girls series arrived at my home, I immediately started reading them so I could share my thoughts and review them. But the moment I would put one of the books down, it would mysteriously disappear into my daughter's hands until I finally gave up and let her read it first! My oldest daughter is a voracious reader, and read both of these books in two days! (It certainly helps that we are on spring break from school).
Both "London Art Chase" and "A Dolphin Wish" are fun books that are sure to entertain your girls (aimed at age 8-12). My daughter (aged 11) enthusiastically declared that the books are "amazing" and "so fun to read!" She particularly liked that the girls are just like her "except they get to go to even more cool places". She most identified with the character of Maddie, particularly how Maddie was more uncertain about being in the spotlight or singing on stage. And as a parent, that's what I liked about these books, that the young lady reading these books will be able to relate with at least one of the characters, recognize their insecurities, and learn with them along the way. These girls certainly aren't perfect, and your girls will like reading about girls who make mistakes like they do! For example, in "London Art Chase" Maddie ends up running off to chase a thief all on her own, something that her parents certainly aren't happy about. In "A Dolphin Wish", Mia struggles with jealously towards Maddie, and this leads to some great learning moments for the girls. Incidences like these in the books make for some nice discussion points that you can have with your daughters about right and wrong choices they can make.
If you are looking for a great new series for your pre-teen girl or your grand-daughter, one that brims with exciting scenes and characters so real your reader will wish they could be friends, then the Glimmer Girls series is just what you've been looking for. I strongly recommend these novels and award them 4.5 out of 5 stars.
