Customer Reviews

I loved this book!

I read this when I was somewhere between 10 and 12 years old, and I absolutely loved it! I could relate to this too, because I had a friend like Sara growing up. She wasn't perfect, a little rough around the edges and we had some fights, but in the end she was a true friend, like the Sara in the book.

The wildest summer Emily ever had, thanks to tough Sara!

Emily, a young girl is going through a hard time during the summer,....that is until she meets Sara! Sara is a tough girl that just moved from New York and makes friends with Emily. Emily's mother isn't to pleased with the organization and "style," that Sara is living in. Sara doesn't let anyone tell her what to do and she always has a clever come back to anything that comes her way. Emily is happy for she is 5'8 and Sara is 5'9. People are always making fun of Emily and her height. She looses her friend Maggie to some boy crazy teen queens which are supposedly all mother's dream daughters, the kind that goes for make up and that kind of stuff.Read this book and you'll see all the surprises with the danger and the wildness that comes with this book!
