COol!

I read this book in I think it was the 7th grade, and it's pretty good. It's about a book kids have at school and you pass it around to everyone and write annonymous good or bad comments about each other, it's a pretty cool book.

i have always loved ann martin style this is no exception

this is a wonderful book showing how the pressure of being popular can lead to real life tradegies and mishaps. ann martin shows that all teens have problems not just the poor ugly ones but the rich pretty ones also.
