Tried & True Review

Leah and Miguel have been through practically everything together. Now that they're about to graduate, Leah feels like she and Miguel should be together all the time--or most of it, anyway. Miguel is constantly still trying to get his family into a house of their own, away from public housing. Meanwhile, Leah turns 18 and gets some rather nice gifts--especially from a college boy named Shane who likes her. Jenna drives one day into Miguel's neighborhood by accident, but wishes she hadn't when she sees Miguel and his former co-worker Sabrina. Jenna is frustrated because practically no one is taking the CPR classes seriously except her. Everyone tries to get it together so that they can be certified camp counselors.Nicole is a cheerleader! Who would have thought that Melanie would have dropped out? Unfortunately, the new squad doesn't seem to accept her very well--especially after Nicole blabs the REAL reason for Melanie's dropping out. Will she ever be accepted before her senior year? Cheerleading camp?

TRULY FANTASTIC

This is one of the best books in the series. The whole series is wonderful and fascinating, and I highly recommend it for any teenager. I love Leah and Miguel, and this is one my favorite books ever!!! The series got better as it went on, and I loved reading about Leah and Miguel. Definetly some of the best books ever written. I'm angry at myself, though, because like an idiot I checked all the books out of the library, and now they're out of print...every book, though, is worth any money you spend it. BUY THESE BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By far the best CCHS book ever!!

This was the best Clearwater Crossing book yet, and I have them all. I can't wait to find out if Jesse and Melanie get back together. I hope they do. I'm mad at Nicole for dumping Guy. She doesn't deserve him. I really can't wait for the next book to come out!!

Fantastic Book!

Tried and True, like the rest of the Clearwater Crossing books, is another awesome addition to the series. I just got the book and wasn't able to put it down. Eight Prime is finally getting closer to fulfilling their dream of having summer camp. They still have to finish the necessary safety courses, but with all the goofing off, Jenna is afraid they're never going to pass. While Jenna and Peter are devoted to the summer camp preparations, Nicole is attempting to establish herself as a cheerleader, Miguel is obsessed with work, work, work, and Leah is doubtful about her future. Melanie, frustrated with getting Jesse back and uncertain about her choice of dropping out of cheerleading, can't seem to make much progress with anything. And Ben is just Ben.There's not a dull moment in this book as the eight are trying to have fun preparing for summer holidays amid their struggles. Whether it's Leah questioning Miguel's attitude or Nicole trying to be popular, this book was great to read. It was funny, thoughtful, and intriguing. I definitely recommend it anyone who enjoys this series or looking for a fun new realistic series to read.

This is a really good book.

I have all of the Clearwater Crossing books. I have enjoyed reading them. They are good books for teenagers. It is very hard to find books for teenagers with integrity. I am thirteen and this one was one of my favorite books.
