Hey Vivian! Thanks for checking out this review. I think that Zibby will earn a place on your weekly lists. :)

I read very, very quickly.

YAY! I just received and read the fourth book, Trio Trouble, and it is just as neato as the first three books. I'll be reviewing it this weekend, if time allows.
