Chapter 1

In this Chapter Phil takes the mother and Caitlin on a bike ride, but with a dramatic twist Caitlin’s mother falls off her bike into a bush, after she got distracted. I think this will be a great book and I really like it.
Main Characters: Caitlin, the mum and Phil
None of the Characters really grabbed my attention, but I’m sure there will be more characters to introduce.
From reading the blurp on the back cover In the future chapters I think that Phil will attempt to kill Caitlin's mother and, the ghost is Caitlin's real father. I also think that the “Kick-Butt” reporter is Viola (the title gives this away)

Chapter 26
In This chapter they found a little more about the bike man who sold them the bike. In this book I think that it changes scenes way to quickly, and it’s very confusing, so half the time in this chapter I was confused about what was going on.

Finally there was an interesting chapter. Caitlin goes to a house, this house is no ordinary house though it belongs to to man who sold the bike, or maybe Caitlin just thinks that. Caitlin rudely goes in the house searching for bikes for proof, as soon as she finds the bikes she goes home just in time for her mother to tell her off for barging into someone's house.
At this point In this book I have noticed that it’s very confusing and it jumps scenes quickly.

Chapter 31
On a Saturday morning Caitlin runs out early to get the mail and she reads her article, It says that Caitlin uses the name Viola Vincent so I’m assuming her Aunt isn't named Viola or she is using her name; But I think this is where the title comes into the story. Caitlin is so proud of herself until the story comes onto the news and it shows that the bike man is going to sue because of Caitlin, Caitlin starts crying.
Chapter 32
Caitlin goes to school just in time to have Liam laughing at her, she tells him to shush. Caitlin finds out that the man has no right to sue because the police found the bad bikes hidden in his house, To celebrate Caitlin, Rita (Her mother) and Phil go to a restaurant.
THE END
I think that the author was not very good I thought that they had jumped to scene to scene without talking about where they were at the time, I also think that the book was quite boring most of the time. They also had very interesting Chapters and very boring Chapters, I think that they should spread out the drama. I don’t recommend this book, but I think that this book is suited for 11 - 13 year old girls. The ending was also very predictable and cheesy. I think that the blurp gets you all excited for the book, but honestly it's very disappointing.
