Customer Reviews

Best book ever!!!!!!

I LOVE MELANIE!!!! And this is the best one yet. I couldn't put it down. Melanie is such a great character and this book made me really want to see New York City someday. I've read all four in the series and I definitely recommend them :D.

GREAT BOOK, GREAT SERIES

Melanie is such a funny and wonderful character! I have been giving these books to children for years and they are always well received. The kids love them because Melanie is so moody and spills all to her diary and because Matt the Brat keeps saying things he shouldn't, and the parents thank me because we all know how hard it is to find a series that is truly worth reading. My own kids have learned a lot about art and other cultures through Melanie's mother (an art teacher) and their family travels. I highly recommend Melanie in Manhattan and the previous three books. The author's website is worth a visit too. It's melaniemartin.com.

Fabulosa

Este libro es buenisimo ! I absolutely love this book. Its awesome ! Carol Weston out did herself. Once I picked this book up I just couldn't put it down. This book has the perfect combination of family, friends, and fun. Its also very educational as well. Children of all ages can definitely find something in this book to enjoy if not the entire book.

ahh Manhattan

Melanie's latest adventure in Manhattan is, perhaps, her best yet. It is enjoyable to recognize all the places she visits, such as the Frick, Central Park, and Zabar's. Any New Yorker will relate immediately to Melanie's experiences, while girls from all over will be given the best tour possible while eagerly following (and identifying with) the difficulties the heroine faces in having a crush on two boys at once.

I LOVED THIS BOOK My best friend gave me Melanie in Manhattan for my birthday and it is really great. It is funny and very realistic. My friends have read all the Melanie Martin diaries, but this was my first one. I like how you feel like you're in many different New York City places, like Central Park and the Bronx Zoo and the museums, and I like how Melanie worries about everything, from her best friend to her worst enemy, and how she has a crush on two different boys and can't really choose. I recommend this book. I could not put it down, and that is not usually the case for me.
