Wishes and Dreams-Heidi Ruegg



I reviewed the book Wishes and Dreams by Kathy Clark
This book is an incredible book for the ages 8+ girls because you get the chance to read about TV stars.This book is more about girls partying and about Mary Kate and Ashley's sweet 16. In this book it is all about Mary Kate and Ashley's sweet 16. They send out 50 invitations to 50 teen aged girls. Now Mary Kate and Ashley want to invite 25 girls and 25 boys but they don't want to uninvite 25 of the girls. They have no idea what to do, and their sweet 16 is in two weeks.
The best scene in the book, according to me is when the sweet 16 starts . Mary Kate and Ashley find out they got a car for their birthday. when they receive the car only Mary Kate can drive because Ashley hasn’t got her full licence yet. Another high point of the story is when Mary Kate and Ashley go after the invitations and they nearly lose their boyfriends.
The main characters in this story are Mary Kate, Ashley, Ben, Jake and Wilson. Mary Kate and Ashley are identical twins. You really can not tell them apart cause they look the same. Ben and Jake are Mary Kate and Ashley's boyfriends. Ben is Mary Kate's boyfriend and Jake is Ashley’s boyfriend. Wilson is a kind teenager who is always willing to help Mary Kate and Ashley with their sweet 16. Wilson helps them find places for their party and he helps them organize it.

In Wishes and Dreams the story takes place in America in California. Mary Kate and Ashley go to the mall heaps and look around the country so this book takes place in a heap of places.
My opinion on the book is that this story is high quality and only girls will probably be interested in it. Only because it is more of a girls book. I enjoyed Wishes and Dreams because of what it was about, and the reason that they used the theme about a sweet 16 and that it is about teenagers. So if you like girly drama and sweet 16 parties well then this is the book for you.
