A Definite Must Read!

If you think that reading is boring, this book will change your mind! I have read all of the Clearwater Crossing books and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute. I was happy when I heard about More Than This, the eleventh Clearwater Crossing book. This book, More Than This, was not my favorite book of the series, but I still loved it! The reason why I did not enjoy it as much as some of the other books is because at times it would get a bit dull. For an example, the writer, Laura Peyton Roberts did not keep the plot interesting in the areas pertaining to Ben. But I still fretted with Eight Prime when their Valentine outreach fell through and with Melanie and her many problems with Jessie. Also I was practically yelling at Nicole about what she should do with her problems with Mr. Roarke, and her cousin Gail, at work. The way that Laura Peyton Roberts writes makes me enjoy the books even more because she makes me feel like I am there with the characters and they are my best-freinds. This book is best for female teens who are looking for a slight romance and enjoyable book!

Continues the Clearwater Crossing Cliffhanger Tradition

Well, whadya know? We have another cliffhanger! Seriously, this is one of the best CC books yet. There's the Peter/Jenna relationship (which doesn't look to good,) the Jesse/Melanie conflict, and all the other clashes and friendships. Melanie comes to terms with her past, Jesse's mother comes to town, and Nicole must deal with the relationship between Mr. Rourke and Gail. It's a great cliffhanger, and you'll be waiting for "Hope Happens." Read it today!

So Totally Clear!

This is a great book! I got it the exact day it came out! Mr. Roarke--Nicole and Gail's boss-is totally awful! He's thirty-four and he is taking advantage of Gail (16)and he's telling her he'll fire her and Nicole if she doesn't go out with him! I am slightly confused with Melanie. She likes Jesse--but now she acts kind of like she is annoyed with him for making a fool of her. All I know is that I can't wait for HOPE HAPPENS to come out in December. I like Jesse's little sister, Brittany, and at first I hated Elsa. I like Jesse's real mother, and I don't like his real father. I wish Jesse and Melanie would get with it and get together! Jenna is annoying. She prys into other poeples business and is so...I don't know. Well, I'm not saying anymore!

Great!

I have not yet read this book, but I can only assume that it will be great! I'm dying to know what happened to Caitlin and David, and Melanie and Jesse! What does the cover mean? Is Melanie mad at Jesse now? Hopefuly by the title that she isn't. Great job to Mrs. Roberts for making this great series!!
