Teen 1: I picked up this book because I liked the cover. It was very interesting, even in the first chapter. I wanted to keep reading to see what was going on. It was written in a way that I could understand it, and it was also about things high school students need to know about. Teen 2: I thought the book was going to be boring because it didn't catch my attention, but my perception changed. It was better in the middle and the end.These teens had more to say. Read on for the full review.kinda made me mad about how spoiled these girls were. i mean, wut eighth grader gets mad at her mom wen she doesnt get a $400 dress for a party??? anyway, got kinda boring cuz not muchh romance (yes i LOVE a good romance story)
Phoebe Avery is about to graduate from middle school, and she couldnt be more thrilled. But its mostly the graduation party that shes excited about, because its a chance to be with her best friends having fun in a fabulous dress. But something goes wrong. It turns out that Phoebes mother has lost her job. Now the family is in a financial crisis. Phoebe can no longer afford to pay her share for the party.Shes too embarrassed to tell her friends her economic situation. Even though shes been
Phoebe's an unbearable, spoiled brat from page one, but I was hoping that she would learn her lesson and have a fun personality makeover, à la Cher from "Clueless." No such luck.
Girls will appreciate this story of a youngest sister whose 8th grade graduation plans are interrupted when her mother loses her Wall St. job. Humorous dialog and young romance make this very entertaining.
I have always found Rachel Vail's books to be better than the average chick lit.This book, about a mother who loses her job and causes the immature Phoebe to resist her new "poor" status (she can't afford a Neiman Marcus dress or an elaborate graduation party.) Also, as is common in 8th grade, friends are growing apart.I didn't like this as much as other Rachel Vail books, but its still a strong middle school read, especially in this tough economy.
Unmemorable, not worth reading the rest of the series, unfortunately.
