This book is especially recommended for children who're 11. This book deserves 5 stars because of its wonderful storytelling method, the reindeer puppet and of course, the conversations between Em and Dancer (Vita's puppet that she got from Santa in Christmas). I loved the parts when Em would talk to Vita and Maxie. Just like how Em likes Jenna Williams books, my daughter likes Jacqueline Wilson books too. This storyline could have been easily made into a movie script, right? PS: While reading this book she had her 'Dancer(her teddy bear Manny)' close to her and silently wished she could also talk to her favourite author just like Em at a book signing event! Hats off to Jacqueline Wilson!!

This book really deserves 5 stars because: 1. The narrator is a character in the story. 2. It revolves around the 5 Robinsons, Rebecca(Becks) who is 14, Perry who is 11 and then Phoebe(Narrator) who is 10, their mom and dad. 3. It has a very interesting storyline in which their dad goes to some place for a few months, but his kids don't know where. 4. It's really embarrassing to say this, but the guinea pig, Daisy is really cute! PS:This is what my daughter said after reading the whole book!
