Another awesome Replica book!

In the 13th Replica book Amy gets a new substitute teacher. Amy starts to suspect that her teacher is working for the organization but that is only the beginning. Youll definitely have to read it!

Funny and page-turning!

This book had some creepy, page-turning parts, as well as some hilarious parts! Sometimes the things Mrs. Hartshorn said were funny, but sometimes they weren't. At one point, she says something to Amy about curiousity, but I don't want to spoil it. This was a really good volume in the wonderful Replica series!

FAST PACE!

Great book, kept my attention the whole time, fast quick read, Iread it one day. Marilyn Kaye, strikes again. Another one of Amy's to die for adventures, loved it and you will too.

Very good

This was a great book. I enjoyed it a lot. Through most of the book, Eric is still mad at Amy over the thing with Andy in book #12 and gets even angrier when he finds out that she emails him every day! For the main plot, Amy's favorite teacher, Ms. Weller, is gone, apparently without anyone knowing where. The new teacher, Ms. Heartshorn, is really mean and seems to pick on Amy especially. And then Amy finds out why. But SOMEONE is lying. Does Amy figure out who in time? You may be surprised at that answer. The only thing that I dislike about this book is that for a girl with intelligence supposedly superior to everyone, she's awfully naive.

What's up with the new substitute?

Amy and her mom have returned from their trip to Paris, and now it's back to the ordinary routine of school, homework, and hanging out with Tasha and Eric for Amy. But Eric is mad at Amy because she hung out with Andy in Paris. And Amy's favorite teacher, Ms. Weller, is mysteriously absent from school, having been replaced by a really mean substitute, Ms. Heartshorn. Since the substitute seems to be acting especially nasty towards Amy herself, she wonders if Ms. Heartshorn might be from the agency that wants to kidnap Amy because she's a clone. She also wonders if perhaps Ms. Heartshorn is simply a criminal who kidnapped Ms. Weller (who nobody has heard from, apparently) and stole her job. But it turns out Ms. Heartshorn is there for a completely different reason than anything Amy imagined. But does she find out the truth before it's too late? Read to find out! Another great book from the Replica series.
