*MugLV* First Impression:
I love the relationship you paint between the two sisters, such a realistic but lovely bond. There are elements of jealousy and irritation with siblings, but ultimately there is fun and friendship as well as a desire to look after one another.

*MugV* What I liked most:
The way you developed the foreign environment through animals, music and the accents of the locals. It was a show not tell situation which is what should always be aimed for in writing. Great descriptions of the scenery as well.

*MugO* Conclusion:
A lovely family holiday story, creative and fun. Thank you for writing :D
