Katrina, 8, Reviews Katie & Kimble: A Ghost Story! Today, I'd like to introduce our first guest blogger here at Katie & Kimble Kids' Corner. Her name is Katrina, she's from Virginia, and she's 8!
Katie
& Kimble is a very honest book with a lot of friendship and truth.
I thought it was a really great book, one of my top favorites. It was a
very sweet, loving book. There are some parts that I wasn’t expecting,
but I liked the whole thing. I think it would be cool to meet a ghost
like Kimble and to live in that type of house. Katie didn’t really have
any friends and I think Kimble made a smart choice of showing her
feelings so Katie would like her.
I wish that I had a friend like Katie or Kimble or even both. I think
Katie & Kimble is a book I would enjoy reading again and I look
forward to reading more about Katie and Kimble’s adventures. I also
liked the pictures in the book. I think Mrs. Russell made a smart
choice about trusting that Kimble was real and I was surprised that she
believed in the end.
[My birthday is] April 8. I am homeschooled. I like playing piano.
And I recently built a volcano for my first science fair and I received
a really good score for it. (See some pictures here!) I like to make people happy and to make new friends.
Thank you, Katrina! I appreciate your sending in your post! Well done!

3 Moms and a Girl Review Katie & Kimble: The Magic Wish! In
Katie & Kimble: The Magic Wish, Book 2 in the Katie & Kimble
series (290L), the
author takes Katie & Kimble where no ghostly tale has gone before.
It's time for Kimble to make herself at home with Katie's family!
Nine-year-old Katie, and Kimble, the ghost of a ten-year-old girl, find
a coupon for a magic wish in a box of breakfast cereal. Their wish
leads to all manner of hilarious difficulties, including how to tell
Katie's dad about Katie's new friend, Kimble, who suddenly appears out
of nowhere looking very much like an old-fashioned girl. Can the lonely
Kimble find love and acceptance within a human family?
Homeschool Messenger (Susieqtpie's review of Katie & Kimble: The Magic Wish) "BOOK
2 kept my daughter's inquisitive attention from the get go! It started
with a mysterious coupon found in a cereal box stating that it is 'good
for one wish.' I always LOVED getting the goodie in the cereal box as a
kid!... What is it that they wish for and how will it forever change
the girls' lives as well as Katie's family's life? You'll have to read
the book to find out!!!" Café of Dreams (April's review of Katie & Kimble: The Magic Wish) "Readers
(and parents) looking for a wholesome and rewarding story will be
incredibly satisfied with Katie & Kimble - through both A Ghost
Story and The Magic Wish. This is an amazing and timeless series that I
can see being read by generations to come." The Book Connection (Cheryl's review of Katie & Kimble: The Magic Wish) "One
of the best aspects of this book is the complete acceptance of Kimble
into the Russell family from Katie's parents, her two-year-old brother,
Toby--who has always been able to see Kibo (as he calls her)--and even
the family's dog, Twinkle." Madeline, age 8, Reviews Katie & Kimble: The Magic Wish for Reader Views Kids! "Katie and Kimble: The Magic Wish
by Linda Thieman is the second book in this series about Katie and
Kimble I have read. They are fun and easy for the reader to follow. I
really like these books about friends because they always have a happy
ending and make me feel good. I liked both books equally well."
