Karen's Goldfish

Karen and Andrew get new pets - goldfish. Karen names her goldfish Crystal Light. But then her goldfish dies and she has a funreal. Mrs. Porter gives her a new goldfish and Karen names it Crystal Light like her old fish. Some people wrote that they think it's weird that Karen is sad about her goldfish and has a funreal. I don't think it's strange. Real kids would have funreals for their pets, too. I buried my pet robin Rob after he died. And of course I would be sad if Little Meow or Smokey died. I think these books are about things that could really happen. I felt really sad when Shadow died. I think Crystal Light died when Karen wasn't at the big house, but I can't remember, because I got this from the library.

A really good book!

I read a book called Karen's goldfish. It is a very good book. Karen has a pet rat named Emily. Her parents are divorced so she lives at two houses. She has a pet atHer mom's house and not a pet at her dad' house andShe wants a pet at her dad's house. She also has brothers and sisters at both houses. One day she gets a goldfish, and named her Crystal Light. One Time her brother was watching her. And he killed her Karen was sad when she found out. They had a funeral. Then she got a new fish named Crystal Light the second.

A Goldfish bothers Karen!

This book was good. The witch was so kind to Karen.I recommend this book.I felt so sad for Karen and Crystal Light but I am glad that in the next book she got a new goldfish named Crystal Light the second.At first I was so happy when Karen got a new Goldfish, then I became so sad when it died.I have given this book 4 stars.I recommend this book for Animal lovers.

Poor Crystal Light

This book got really sad after Karen's fish died. First it was happy, then it was sad, then it was happy again. Morbida Destiny is cool! I was really glad that Crystal Light went to fish heaven.
