Summary: The Girls
Comment: The Girls Puffin Books, 2000, 121 pp., $4.99
Amy Goldman Koss ISBN 0-14-230033-0
Could you put yourself in the position where all of a sudden, your closest friends begin teasing and taunting you? Well, that's the position that Maya is in when friends Renée, Brianna, and Darcy turn on her, and she can't figure out why. Then popular, intimidating Candace calls her and says some awful things, and suddenly it becomes crystal clear: the other girls don't like her because of Candace; if they did stay Maya's friend after Candace began to dislike her, they would be out of Candace's clique. The book The Girls shows how hard it is to be left out, mocked, and how to get back on your feet.
I really loved this book because I felt as though I could instantly connect with Maya. She has the same problems every middle school girl has, and Amy Goldman Koss describes her emotions very well. The writer's craft was unique; with each new chapter, a different girl would narrate the story and the "Maya problem" as she saw it through her own eyes.
The book The Girls was addictive. I enjoyed reading the different perspectives that each individual girl had on the problems going on within their clique. Once I picked it up, I just couldn't put it down!

Summary: The Girls
Comment: Candace has long hair, and is popular. Darcy is Candace's best friend, and she gossips about eveything. Renee says "um" a lot, and is very nice. Maya has short hair, and has a little sister named Lena. Brianna is an honorary auntie to Candace's two little twin sisters, and she hates her nose. In the begining Darcy had a slumber party, which took at her house. The middle was when Candace and Darcy decided not to like Maya and Brianna, this happened at school and at the girls' houses. Last was when everyone started to go their own direction, this was at the school and at the girls' houses.
The Girls was very interesting when all the girls started to fight, also it was very sad. The book was at the right pace where I could understand it. There were no confusing spots. The setting really set the book off to a great start because it was like they were my own friends. The message the author was giving me helped me to understand the book.
The book will probably effect the reader in an exciting way. I feel this way because things happened in the book that happened in my life.

Summary: This book has no plot!
Comment: I found this book in my 11 year-old sister's room, and thought it looked interesting. Boy was I wrong! This book can be confusing to follow because each chapter is writted from another character's point of view. Not only does this book have so weak a plot that it seems to be non-existent, but the portrayel of the four teenage girls who are the main characters is totally false! The plot in this book is so unbelievable! I wouldn't waste your money on this book. If you desperatly want to read this book, then borrow it from the library, but do not spend your own money on it!
