Sweetheart Ronnie, vixen Fleur and brainy Claudette, a.k.a. "Les Bambinos Dangereuses" are back on the scene in LBD: Live & Fabulous. In this rollicking sequel, the "feisty, foxy, fighting force" finally makes it to the infamous Astlebury summer music festival, as the special guests of their favorite rock star, Spike Saunders. Unfortunately for the girls, nothing can ever just go as planned. First, they are forced by Fleur’s stern daddy to bring Fleur’s hippy-dippy sister Daphne along as chaperone. Next, they discover their arch nemesis, the evil Panama Goodyear and her "snooty ghoulish gang" have also scored Astlebury tickets. But the final straw comes when Ronnie and Claudette lose their beloved third bambino after Fleur crowd-surfs into a particularly nasty mosh pit and disappears. Will the girls have to call the "totally zingy" festival quits in order to assemble an emergency search squad? Or will the bodacious blonde Fleur come out on top as usual, bringing her marvelous girl gang along? Fans of the LBD are sure to bet on the latter. LBD: Live & Fabulous is teenage escapist reading on a grand scale, where every cool thing you ever wished happened to you and your two best girlfriends, happens. There’s no ground here that British "chick lit" authors Louise Rennison and Jacqueline Wilson haven’t already covered. But it’s mighty entertaining, nevertheless. (Ages 12 and up) --Jennifer Hubert --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Grade 7-10–Fleur, Ronnie, and Claude, introduced in LBD: It's a Girl Thing (Putnam, 2003), are a year older and are up for another jamboree. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem as though attending the two-day Astlebury Festival is going to happen, since the tickets are sold out–even on eBay. However, heaps of lucky stars are shining over the Les Bambinos Dangereuses, as Ronnie gets a package in the mail: four shiny tickets to attend the festival, compliments of Spike Saunders, the ragingly hot music star who remembered the LBD from last year. Now, there's just one more obstacle to overcome, and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is all theirs. Agreeing to abide by and sign the behavioral contract written up by their parents, the three friends are off, escorted by Fleur's responsible (reasonably so) older sister. The festival is not a letdown for the girls, and certainly not for readers. While a bit over-the-top and somewhat predictable (the LBD get to go on stage and play the tambourine with Spike's band), it is still believable since the characters are realistic from the start. Fans of the music scenes in Tanuja Deais Hidier's Born Confused (Scholastic, 2002) and the female camaraderie of Narinder Dhami's Bindi Babes (Delacorte, 2004) will definitely want to join in the drama of this second book. They won't be disappointed.–Kelly Czarnecki, Bloomington Public Library, IL --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
