Seventeen Secrets - and the rest...

I luv Karen McCombie's books!!!!! My fave are the 'Ally's World' books (I have read most of them and mega desperate to read the rest!) and the novels: 'Marshmallow Magic and the Wild Rose Rouge', 'An Urgent Message of Wowness' and I have just finished 'The Seventeen Secrets of the Karma Club'! :) The books are fun and cool reads, and even tho they are about everyday life they are sooo NOT boring! ;) Plz plz plz write more amazing books!

Marshmallow Magic: a million out of ten stars!!

This book was great! Two months ago I borrowed it off a friend who said "it's, like, da best book EVAH!" and I so totally agree. I loved the little Rose Rouge surprise at the ending - it shocked me (I'm not giving away any hints for those who haven't read it what it was!). You just NEED to write a sequel. This book was fabulous. I give it a million out of five stars rating (teehee) it is mega good. A real recommended read. Every one of your books is really good. Be sure to keep writing!

OMG!!

OMG!

OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG!OMG! I have just this second finished EVERY single book you have written. I have read all the 'Allys Worlds', all the 'Stella Etc.'... both the 'Sadie Rocks' (can't wait for the next one!!!!), all your 'Indie Kidd's and all of your single novels! THEY ARE ALL FANTASTIC! To me personally, the best was 'Marshmallow Magic And The Wild Rose Rouge', because it was so intriguing. More books please!

Wow of wowy wowness

O.M.G ur books are SO cool I have read every single one except the adult ones (duh!) Anyway... my name is Ivy, yes, just like the little pink princess in Ally's World. But If you think that's a coincidence - my sister is called Ally and her boyfriend is called Alfie, and my best friend is called Lynn and her sister is called Laurel! They all link up to your books! It's fabulous just like i'm living in Ally's World, and Stella Etc. Oh and did I forget Marshmallow Magic?!!!

Twists,Turns and 100% Tilda

This book is FAB! I've read the whole series of 'Stella Etc' and it's BRILLIANT (do I sound like Megan?). But I read this book first (it was the only one my pants school library had) and liked it best. I'm sad 'Stella Etc' is finished now, but I've got started on 'Allys World', which is also FAB!

An urgent message of wowness x 2

Can I just say that you are a genius? My friend has some parents (duh!) who have filed for a divorce, and she laughed for the first time in ages when I read her a snippet of "An Urgent Message Of Wowness". The advice that Sylv gave was really helpful (though my friend didn't start stalking her dad on a scooter, partly because her sister owns the only one in her house – a pink, Barbie, tassled, neon, day-glo eye hazard that would get her caught in five seconds. Oh, well...) Thanks!

Sadie really rocks!

I've read the first of the Sadie Rocks books and it is fantastic! I think it is one of the best books you've written but I love Stella Etc. too. I expect that makes you want to reread some of your books and see if you still like them as much as you did when they were published, because you want to change things, but people love things the way they are. Anyway, I loooove Sadie Rocks! YOU ROCK KAREN!!! Katherine xx:Dxx

Butterflies, Bullies and Bad Bad Habits!

I love all your books, naturally! But this one stood out as something really special! You took a serious subject and managed to portray it perfectly ,giving the cause and solution for that type of bullying! As well as all that, you managed to jam-pack it with the usual 'Ally's World' madness!

My Funny Valentine, Bliss..., Wonderland

I actually like that mini series MORE than the 'Ally's World' etc. Maybe it's because they really made me think about how the characters (Shaunna, Moly and Jude) would react and how they were controlling things (all of Karen's books do, but...).
I really like the way they did things and how it was rounded up and the cool relationships between the three friends.
