Length
editI understand this article is rather short, but I have seen several other articles of shorter and similar lengths passed for GA status recently (I can list a few, should this be necessary.) So please take this into account when reviewing, as length is not included in the good article criteria. Cheers, Qst (talk) 22:15, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- Length is fine. I'm putting it on hold because it's really close. It just needs a few more little things:
- Be sure to specify the source of the image you use on the image's fair use rationale.
- This sentence is confusing: Claire, the youngest, returns from a break and goes to her Catholic high school, showing a changed personality and increased self-confidence. Exactly what is this break? What was she like before?

- Does the book say why she's different? What happened that summer? Wrad (talk) 22:15, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

- Looks good now. Wrad (talk) 22:24, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
