Wonderful.

I love this book! Best friends Laurie and Soap get into their share of trouble as Soap conjures up prank after prank to irritate teachers and other students. Laurie is sick of getting caught in the middle and is determined to change her reputation. Even though the plot of the story isn't very complex, it is beautifully written and speaks of friendships and growing up. It's one of my favorites!

Excellent!

This isn't your typical happy-go-lucky teenage novel about friendships. It explores how Laurie and Soap, two best friends, learn to live with the unwelcome changes of growing up and maturing. Through a series of trials which test the limit of their friendship, Laurie must decide if the sacrifices of being Soap's friend are worth it . At the end of the novel, both girls find some sense of peace and an understanding of the power of friendship
