"Best friends? Or enemies?"

When Lizzie Miletti's best friend's mother goes out of town for a couple of weeks, Lizzie thinks it's fantastic since Nancy Underpeace gets to stay at her place during that time. Yet just days after Nancy arrives, Lizzie starts to think it might have been a mistake when Nancy starts doing things that really get on her nerves--like going to bed and waking up early, insisting on sleeping in a pitch-black room, and spending more time with Lizzie's siblings than with her. Not only that, but Lizzie feels like she's doing all the work on their puppet show for the school fair. Even though they're best friends, will they still be after the two weeks are up?Though "The Roommate" is written under the name Carrie Randall, the book is actually written by Carol Ellis, author of several other YA books, like the following Scholastic Thrillers: "The Stepdaughter," "The Window," and "The Body."If you enjoyed this book, then I'd recommend reading the other five Dear Diary books: "The Party" (#1), "The Secret" (#2), "The Dance" (#3), "The Mystery" (#4), and "The Lie" (#6). Recommended for 8 to 12-year-old readers.
