Customer Reviews

See a Penny, Pick it Up...

... And all day long, you'll have good Duck!This book was awesome. It was hilarious and clever and so very familiar in a few different ways (at least for me, anyway). I love the way Ducky writes in his journals - the oddball titles he gives his entries, the movie-script-format he jots scenes in sometimes and his never-ending struggle with the Point-Of-View format of his scribbling. There were some very creative things written in here... some of the most hilarious observations. ('Dance of the Shop-Lifter', 'Stomach Supplies', etc.), as well as a particularly irresistible display of innocence and honesty that Ann M. Martin has carved into our Ducky. Honestly, if this boy were a real person, I might be in love! So, you see, I don't blame Sunny at all when she developes a crush on her best friend in this book and begins dropping subtle hints to him about her feelings lately. Poor Ducky doesn't have any idea what's going on with his best pal, however, and it takes some advise from an unexpected source (Amalia's current boyfriend) to wisen the poor boy up. But does the Duckster feel the same??? I tell you, the answer surprised me!!I definietely recommend this book! It's funny, cute and communicates to anyone and everyone that true friendships are special enough as they are - so if they ain't broke... don't try to fix 'em!

This book was hilarious!

I love the California Diaries series, and I love Ducky most of all. I don't laugh out loud while reading books that often, but this one was an exception. I love the way "Ducky" (Ann M. Martin) writes! It's hilarious. I might have changed the story a bit if I wrote it, but the humor was enough to keep me reading. One thing that made me sad, is that this appears to be the last book in the series. I adore this series, and would hate for it to end! Although it did seem to sum up everyone's problems at the end (especially Maggie, my second fav. character). Well, I leave you with my recomendations to read this book if you're in the mood for something light and humorous. And let's hope the series doesn't end!

Not as good as the others..

This book was okay, but I like the other books better. Ducky is my favorite character. In this book Ducky is confused about Sunny. He seems scared of her. Does she like him or not? Does he like her? I am glad to see a new guy come into the series(Brendan). I was disappointed that this book did not say much on how Alex was doing. It mainly focused on Sunny. I would still say this book was good though.

I Love Ducky!

This book was great as it further delved into Ducky and his relationship with Sunny. It's a WONDERFUL book, BUY IT NOW!

A Spiffy Book

Okay, well, in this book, the latest in the California Diaries Series, Ducky is dealing mostly with his feelings for Sunny as more as a friend. Are there any romantic feelings fermenting in the back of his head or is there simply just the out-in-the-open, regular plationic ones of love? Sure, she may be like a sister, but is there a potential for more, and if so does he want it? This was introduced in the last of the California Diaries, but only very breifly. This a pretty good book and I know that the issues are ones that exist in real life because I've delt with them. Everyone should read this book.
