About the author
Cara J. Stevens
58 books61 followersI have wanted to be a writer since I was four years old and fell in love with reading. I wrote stories and songs and poems. I wrote plays and scribbled thoughts and ideas in notebooks. I wrote when I was supposed to be doing sports, and sometimes I wrote under the covers by flashlight when I was supposed to be asleep in bed.
I got my first big break writing stories for Sesame Street video games. Then I helped design and create video games based on books, like Bruce Coville's My Teacher is an Alien and Roxie Munro's Inside Outside World. I got my big break when Byron Preiss commissioned me to write my first novel, Dragon School. I felt like the luckiest person in the world because I got to live my dream!
That was 20 years ago! Since then, I've written many more books. I write about Paw Patrol, SpongeBob Squarepants, Mickey Mouse and Bubble Guppies for little kids. I write about Fortnite, Minecraft and Terraria video games for bigger kids. I also get to write about cool trends like Fidget Spinners, the K-Pop band BTS, how to record your family history, and a guide to playing Pokemon Go!
None of what I do would be possible without encouragement from my family and friends, the love and support of my amazing husband, guidance from all the fantastic editors, publishers and illustrators I work with, and of course letters and notes from readers like you!

I really love this book. I am a fan of BLACKPINK (officially fans are called BLINKS). This book really helped me learn more about the 4 girls. Definitely recommend it!

3 stars. For the most part, this is a fun and well-researched book. It does manage to gloss over some unfortunate things but I appreciated its focus on the members of Blackpink.
That said, for all the knowledge of the group, on page 63 there is a glaring error where a picture of Jennie is passed off as one of Jisoo. It just seems like a rookie error. Otherwise, I enjoyed it.

Basically someone who was not a BLINK took up some info from wikipedia about Blackpink and Kpop and threw them together into a book, adding some pictures from Google, so that your well-intentioned Nan might buy you for Christmas without knowing that there is absolutely no added value in this book for someone who got interested in Blackpink for more than 5 seconds and a half.

I LOVED this book, since it is my favorite kpop girl group. It tells all about the girls and details about them!

Asi som očakávala priveľa. Áno, celkom ma to bavilo, no neviem, čakala som viac. Jasné, takým tým úplným začiatočníkom v K-pope to pomôže sa trochu zorientovať, no ja som sa veľa nedozvedela. Super však bol slovník výrazov na konci. Odporúčam, napriek tomu že ma to až tak nebavilo.

I probably expected too much. Yes, I liked it, but I expected more. Of course, that ones “beginners” in K-pop - they can learn something from it, but I didn't find out much things. Dictonary at the end was great. I reccomend, but I didn't liked it so much.

ya begitulah, kalau bukan buku official atau memoir memang ya isinya begituan doang. lebih lengkap nonton film dokumenternya di netflix atau baca laman wikipedia dan fandomnya sih.
cuma karena baru nemu buku ini yang bisa dibeli dan dimiliki (obralan Peri+) jadi ya...
BLACKPINK ...I'm in your area!

Two critical mistakes were found in this book. On the Jisoo style page, you included a picture of Jennie when Jennie already has a section. Jennie and Jisoo are two different people. You also said STAY was on the Square Up album. No, STAY is on the Square Two single album. But I did enjoy the glossy pictures and the accurate parts of the book.
