Each worry is unique. For example, Holly is worried about getting a stepmother. She has lived with her dad and sister Hannah ever since her mum left, and now her dad has met a lady named Ms. Morgan. How will she react to this news? Meanwhile, Greg thinks his crush is hopeless, and Samantha feels as if everything is wrong.
Anyone who has a worry can go to the website, type up their problem, and receive replies from their classmates. There is helpful advice from Mr. Speed, who always seems to know how to help solve his students' dilemmas. Some worries are simple while others are more complex. Needless to say, though, there is help for all.
You will definitely want to share THE WORRY WEB SITE with your friends. Overall the book was good, even though there could have been more characters and stories within these pages. Please remember, though --- you should always talk to someone, whether it's a friend or a trusted adult, if you have a worry. No one should have to worry alone.

Each chapter has a different plot, and each plot is exciting in its own way. Many use flashbacks where the students remember the problem and find a solution in it. The worries are worries that come up in life, so the book feels very realistic. People type up their worries, and anyone who wants to answer the worry can answer it. Mr. Speedy often answers these worries as well, but unfortunately his answers are almost never useful. The kids in Mr. Speedy's class face problems that have outrageously funny solutions. You see, the way Mr. Speedy helps his students to find the answers to their problems is always by pure accident, and the accident is always extremely funny.
