Great Book

I really like this book.It's about Madison Phin a (alomost 13 year old).When Madison's best friends are away at camp Madison is very lonely and bored.Until one day she meets Fiona a new girl in her neighborhood.But Madison is uncertain about her friendship with Fiona.Is it all right to have 3 Best Friends's? Will Egg,Aimee, and Fiona get along? Madison is also worried about change, everything is seeming to change to her.This book was really good and you can relate totally with her if your a preteen! The only thing I didn't like about this book is that bigfishbowl.com isn't real!!!! Which I wish SO hard it was!!!!!Read this book and the whole sreies you WON'T regret it!!!!!!

Great for girls. Why couldn't I write this?

Whoever came up with these children's books is a genius - I love this book.And I'm 21. I want to read children's books to get inspired to write children's books of my own and I've got to say that this is fun, fun, fun! Keep up the good work, writer!

GREAT-1ST-IN-SERIES BOOK!

This was the 1st book in the series about Madison Finn, "Only the Lonely". We meet Madison, a 7th-Grader-To-Be who writes sort of like an online journal, but with files on her orange laptop. Its the summer before 7th grade and her two best friends, Aimee and Egg, are away for summer camp. During a walk with her dog, Phin, Madison meets a family who has just moved into a house a couple streets away, Fiona. Madison and Fiona quickly become friends but Madison is worried if Aimee and Egg will be jealous when they come back from camp. When Egg and Aimee come home, Madison finds out that they have changed. To find out what happens and to find out the rest of the story, read this book!

Madison Finn rocks!

Madison Finn books are the best. I checked out the first one in my library, and then I kept going back for more, and more, and more! I love them....they're the best and everyone should read it. Recomended to ages 11-_!:-D

Just Like You and Me

I think every girl should have this book! If you're looking for a book you can relate, this is it! Constantly, I would find myself thinking, "Whoa, I'm just like her!" Madison Finn, that is. She's a computer whiz, who leads a life just like ours. I think it's easy to relate to her because she doesn't have big adventures, she leads a normal, but you can't help but get caught up in the fun of it all.
