I read this aloud to my 8 and 10 yr olds, and we thought it was fine. I wanted there to be more action, and more introspection or character growth? It really felt like one long theater rehearsal after another. But the relationships between the sisters was sweet, and we enjoyed the way things wrapped up in the end.
