Dear Elizabeth, zikes, zounds, zazooks! Things sure do sound crazy at your house! This is one of the captivating leads of P.S. Longer Letter Later, by Paula A. Danziger and Ann M. Martian.
P.S. Longer Letter Later, (as well as being the title) is one of the closings to the letters written by Elizabeth and her friend Tara*Starr, when they are forced to continue their friendship through "snail mail".
Elizabeth is the perfect child, a parents "dream". She wears nice skirts and sweaters, keeps her room neat, and always does her work. On the other hand, Tara*Starr is different, but still has her head on "earth". Tara tries to stand out with her high top shoes and the pink streak in her hair. Tara has many conflicts with boys, family, and sometimes even with Elizabeth.
When Tara*Starr's "charents" (CHildlike paRENTS) whisk her away to Ohio, Tara and Elizabeth only have letters, their friendship's soul survival.
A life lesson that I learned is that whatever goes on, whatever happens, you can pull through and survive. Many examples in the novel show you that.
Speaking of examples, when Elizabeth's life takes a turn for the worst, she really needs Tara's support through letters. A few things that Elizabeth goes through are, her father losing his job, and her parents divorcing. These things break her heart. On top of that, Tara's life is finally coming together. (It usually is in shambles.)
P.S. Longer Letter Later mostly takes place through letters. It really shows what kind of problems teenage girls go through today.
Overall, P.S. Longer Letter Later keeps you wanting to turn the page. I would recommend this novel to girls, sixth grade and over who like great novels that leave you guessing what will happen in the sequel Snail Mail, No More. Will the girls friendship end? To find out, you'll have to pick up a copy of P.S. Longer Letter Later. A "Longer Letter Later" is on the way.

A roller coaster of a story!

I liked this book because it was a good story and had a lot of strong moments and feelings. The book is about two 12 year old girls who are best friends and used to live near each other until one of them moved away to another state. Now they talk to each other through letters. The book tells the story through their letters. One of the girls comes from a rich family, the other girl from a poorer family but they still get along and can share their feelings with each other. The girls are pretty different from each other (one likes teen fashion, the other is more plain in her clothes, hair, and jewelry) but they have some similarities too. They are both only children, good students and like to write and to joke around.

I recommend this book because it makes you care about the characters and what happens to them. You are reading their letters to each other and the letters are very courageous, strong, and personal. It makes you feel like you are there. I like the story because it is like a roller coaster where things are always changing. This book is one of my favorite books and I would recommend it to any girl.
