Summary: Best Cheetah Girls book YET!!
Review: Hey I'm Courtney.I just finished reading this book and it was great!! The story of 5 girls trying to find their dreams of becoming a famous singing group is very inspiring to young girls every where who want to follow their own dreams. My favorite story in this combined book is Show down at the Okie Dokie.If you read all the cheetah girl books before this one you'll know that aqua and angie went to houston for Thanksgiving and they went to an audition for a houston helps its own concert starring Karmas Children.They get an opening spot and the rest of the cheetahs come down for the concert. They sing it's raining benjamins which was inspired by a dream chanel had where it was raining money had but they used some of the lyrics the Cash Money Girls (CMG) used in their song. And before they know it CMG is out to get the Cheetahs for bitin at they flava!!I'm not gonna tell you the rest cuz you should read this great book and the other two combined books!!So far I have all 3 combined books and I'm hoping there is a 4th one. Please run to Borders NOW and get this book!!

Summary: Friends Forever
Review: THE CHEETAH GIRLS: GROWL POWER FOREVER by Deborah Gregory takes us on an adventure of five teenage girls who dream of becoming superstars. The book is a compilation of four stories which allows us to get to know each girl up close and personal. The girls who have that growl power are: Galleria 'Bubbles' Garibaldi, Chanel 'Chuchie' Simmons, Dorinda 'Do Re Mi' Rogers, and the twins Anginette and Aquanette Walker.

In Showdown at the Okie-Dokie the girls win a talent show, but are accused of stealing their competitor's lyrics. Can the girls remain in unity during this fiasco? Chuchifrita Ballerina is the story of Chanel attempting to make her dream of becoming a prima ballerina come true. Will she be able to make her dream a reality and still be down with the Cheetah Girls? How will she be able to swing both without someone or something being neglected? In Dorinda Gets Her Groove, Dorinda lives in a foster home but eventually meets her biological sister Tiffany. Tiffany dreams of becoming a Cheetah Girl, but the other girls aren't too keen on the idea. Will Dorinda have to choose between her sister and the group? In the House With Mouse is about record producer Mouse Almighty wanting to produce the girls demo tape; the girls have to really strut their stuff to show they can shine in the spotlight.

THE CHEETAH GIRLS was a very enjoyable and entertaining read. Although the 608 pages were a bit intimidating at first, after getting into the stories and getting to know each girl personally, the pages flew by. There was a lot of slang used in the book and for adults who may not be aware of the defininitions of the words there is a very helpful Cheetah Girls glossary at the end of each story. Reading this book took me back to my teen years when me and my friends use to pretend we had a singing group, and how things would be if we made it big. The trip down memory lane brought back fond memories and in the words of the Cheetah girls this book was "spectaculous".
