SAMANTHA SAMANTHA

I'm so excited for this book!!!! Samantha is my favorite American Girl by far, and I have read all of her books. Then she disappeared, but now she is back! I can't wait to buy this book!

This is the first time I've ever seen a book written like this!! It's a choose-your-own-story kind of book, so you are kind of "part of the story!" You can even choose the characters, like the lost kid who travels back in time. This book made me think a lot as I was reading. I also laughed a lot because of the choices I had to make. Samantha and what "you" say are witty, clever and funny. Awesome book

I love this book.I also loved how the author wrote this book. Its like you can go back in the past and see what her life was like.This is an amazing book. This book allows you to turn on different pages. The message the authors sends to girls is a great message. Every girl should read this! The book has so many cool endings.

This was a pretty awesome book out there especially if you like American Girl Dolls or book. Meet Samantha, you basically control what she does... to me that's pretty cool... you choose the fate and the book basically tells you what page to turn... YOU CONTROL SAMANTHA'S LIFE AND FUTURE... to me I always loved reading those types of books(controlling the fate and decisions), but sometimes I don't like these types of books, because sometimes the author has a hard time controlling the next events or for the future... but for this book the author did a fine job, making it easier to understand. DO you know what's going to happen to Samantha's fate, well it's up to you to read it and make Samantha's decision for her. Overall it's a fun easy book to control fate, and you should READ IT!

I loved this so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a great fantasy story! That you can make your own. Just go to the right page, and yo can read it more then three times!!!!!!!! How would you like being in Samantha's time? It is about a girl who travels back in time!!!!! She travels back, to when a girl named Samantha lives. She could be a servant, a random girl on a bike, or a orphan cleaner named Ruby. There are many different ways to make this book fun, and have many endings. My favorite character is Samantha, because she is everyones friend. I think the message in this story is ''Treat other people the way you want to be treated''. I hope you like it!!!!!!!!!
