I would also have been reluctant to pick up this "kind" of book. But I am so pleased that I was able to enjoy this beautiful piece of art! It was so well done it seems to me that it is destined to become a classic. I just hope this gem doesn't get lost in the ocean of mediocre drivel out there in the book market. Just remember that I said it first.

I'm about 75% finished with this! So far, it's so cute! Corey totally reminds me of me when I was a kid, except she's more outspoken than I was at that age (I was like a hermit) and way less of a drama queen. And the relationship between her and her mom is way different than how I was with my mom. Okay, maybe we're not as alike as I thought.

Anyway, I still like her.

Hey, everyone. Thanks again to everyone who has read my book and shared their honest thoughts. I greatly appreciate it, and it has been a thrill!

***This book should be available for Nook by the end of the week at the latest***

I'm working on it as we speak. Thank you for bearing with me. Feel free to contact me with any questions! I'll post back when it's up and add a link through the product page.

OK, I'm sorry. The Nook thing isn't going very well. Error message after error message, and I haven't gotten a live person who could help yet. AARGH! But stay posted. It should happen eventually.

This is a great review! I agree with all of the above comments...although I'm a little to old for YA; I was a huge fan of the Babysitters Club

It's good to see that there are good books available like this one for youth of this age to enjoy. It sounds like it is very positive and covers a lot of things that youth of this age can encounter, with solutions to their problems that aren't depressing and parental figures who are positive reinforcements in their lives. I would like to write books for middle school youth so I am putting this book on my reading list as one to try to learn from.

Great review! I just got around to reading this book. I can kick myself because I wish I had read it sooner. I really enjoyed getting to know all of these characters. This is such a great example of good, quality writing. I loved it. I really do hope that there are other books in the making.

I was very found of Babysitter's Club when I was younger and this sounds like it may be a very interesting book to get some oif my younger family members into (though the oldest is 7, so may have to wait a few years on that end). I may download it and read it myself as I have friends who have young kids (and also a few who teach English in Middle School) who may be interested in it as well.

Great review! It sounds like an interesting book. I was shy in middle school.

Oh, so was I. Shy, and self-conscious as could be.

Such a helpful review! I have difficulty wading into the waters of YA literature myself, but want to read key pieces from the genre so I can recommend books to young friends. I will pick this one up!
