...which would be easy as the print is large and there are only 127 pages which contain some non-coloured pictures(by Christian Birmingham), which help illustrate and capture the magic of the story wonderfully.

What's she doing to everyone? Before I go on any more, check out my other reviews on Roswell high, so you'll know slightly what I'm talking about!
