Customer Reviews

Mentor your loved ones please

The entire collection of books are beautifully crafted with rhythm, visual appeal and constant surprises. The author not only seeks to educate the listener but also the reader. I have found the entire collection a joy to share and an invaluable resource to deal with life’s problems both big and small. They are easy to understand and fun to read and leave you feeling satisfied. If you love your precious ones buy these books read them out loud and talk to your child about how they feel about the experience. I can’t get enough and can’t recommend them highly enough to anyone who wants to mentor their child and add to their emotional repair kit to prepare them for some of life’s inevitable problems. I have never met the author and only bought one book at first now I have as many as I can find. Thank you for reading this review, it was a pleasure to spend the time writing it and hope it helps others to make an informed decision that’s right for them.

Terrific Addition to the Series!

As a mother who screens everything her 11-year-old daughter reads, and one who grew up in the 80s, I rolled my eyes when Madonna first launched this series. Loving the old lady's music while growing up, I very frankly didn't think her children's books would translate to much. We now own every book in the English Roses series, except for "Too Good To Be True" because it's not the same size!! The books are great fun, and the five Roses are optimistic, empathetic, genuine girls who are not too worried about growing up too fast. "Ready, Set, Vote" is the 10th book in the series, and said daughter loves them as well. For this book, she had the following to say: "The book, 'The English Roses: Ready,Set,Vote!' by Madonna is a great read in the series. When Nicole notices the school is a mess, she decides to run for president with Grace as her manager. Sadly, when Grace begins to show her competitive streak in the school politics, her actions almost cause Nicole to be thrown out of the election!! Luckily, though, the Roses stop her in time and Nicole becomes president. "My favorite part in the book was when Grace snuck into the principal's office and put a paragraph in his speech for the next day saying, 'Vote for Nicole, Fanny would make a horrible president, Nicole will help Hamstead! Vote Nicole!', knowing he wouldn't notice what he had read over the public announcement system till it was too late. It was funny and even though I knew what would happen next, it still made me hold my breath. I give this book two thumbs up and I know every girl would love this book for a fast read."
