leneigh's review against another edition
We love the bolds series in our house and this one had some of the trademark over the top funny and silly scenarios. This is probably my least favourite of the series however as it introduces some dark themes and an abusive relationship which did not fit with the lighthearted tone of the book. It could be an opportunity I suppose to talk to your kids about this issue but it was not dealt with in a particularly nuanced way in the book and the ending for one of the characters was abrupt and unexpected.
I still recommend this series for kids but beware this one has some darker themes.

4.0
My kids would probably give this 5 stars. I'm gonna go with 4. Fun and original, if a tad ridiculous at times.
