Another great Patterson book!
My son loves this series. I turned him on to Patterson since I own all his books (at least all the ones in paperback)! Seems like Patterson has another die hard fan in my kid.

Really Good
I loved this book. I thought the main character was relateable, and through the story while he learns, the reader learns with him. The book will keep you laughing (and in my case, crying a bit too).

Wonderful
I love the autobooks because I can hear the book while I commute. I own the books, but I love the story so much that it allows me to somewhat re-read the books even though I don't have the time. It's a great story. It's the darkest of the three books out so far... but it has a happy ending, which I love about all her books.

This book was delightful. It's one of the most thoughtful, intriguing pieces of children's literature I've read recently. I would highly recommend it, not only to children, but also to any adult who would like to experience a thoughtful, easy reading piece of children's literature.

An excellent storyline
Reviewed by Jevaryon Jennings (age 16) for Reader Views (3/08) All and all, I would have to say that this book is excellent. The storyline is great and there is just enough action so that you enjoy the book at the same time not forgetting the main plot. I would jump at the chance to recommend this book to readers, young and old, although it is written for the younger generation. I would ...

Sweethearts

Read Sweethearts NOW
This is such a beautiful book. I stayed up all night reading it and never wanted it to end. Sara has created such wonderful characters in Jenna and Cameron. She perfectly describes adolescent bullying, desperately wanting to fit in, and what it feels like to have just one true friend in all the world. If it's possible, I just might love this more than Story of a Girl--and that's saying a lot! ...

Our Eleven Year Old Loves This Book
Our son was already entreprenuerially minded,having started a car wash business when he was 9, but this book really galvanized him to think responsibly about money in a way that really excites him. He has read it several times over, and we love that the book also offers reinforcement of what we already teach at home, concepts such as your life is greatly influenced by the company you keep and ...

You Read to Me, I'll Read to You short stories
This is a light book that contains short stories. The stories are cute and quirky, fun to read. Our 7 year old collects books and this one is one of her many favorites. We bought this book for a gift. We have the larger version. We take turns reading together, I read a verse and she reads one. Our daughter started reading before age 5 and I know it's because we read to her every day and just ...

A delightful book for readers of all ages
I intentionally got this book for my young niece and nephew. But before I gave it to them, I decided to take a look for myself and see what Tintin's all about. I was amazed by this book! It had me hooked to such an extent that I went and bought another few Tintin books! This book is for anyone - kids, teens, adults, grandmas! Tintin books are loaded with action and humor on every page. A ...

Brings back memories
Our teacher read this book to us in 3rd grade. In 7th grade I played Janie in a school play. Bought the book to take me back in time. I'm almost 55 now. Great to learn that the author lived in Chicago. We'd moved to that area from Colorado when I was in 3rd grade.

Just Right
Just the right amount of information, without overwhelming parents or kids with too many medical terms, etc. I am a registered nurse with two boys, ages 7 and 9, and this book was a great starting point to our conversation about the birds and bees.

This book as taught us a lot!
I bought a bunch of books for my 4 year old son when I learned he was teasing the other kids at his preschool. This was one of them. He loves this book, and I notice that he has gotten so much better playing with other children since we started reading this book. It has been so effective that I simply say "Jimmy, is that how you be a good friend?" when I feel he is being unkind, and he will ...

Story of a Girl

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008

this book was wonderful
but I actually taped paper on it because the title and cover are so stupid. It's unfair that such a good book ended up with what may be the worst title I've ever heard (I mean, how many thousands of books can be described as "a story of a girl?") and the girl on the cover is just sort of odd- and bland-looking at the same time. Packaging does matter and it annoys me that people might not read ...
