Summary: A Review that's true!
Review: The Wish, written by Ms. Levine, is a very funny, believable, totally real book. I got it at the library one day and I started it, I was totally sucked into the book when reading it. This is about a girl name Wilma, who was unpopular but then one day she met this mysterious old lady who granted her a wish, to be the most popular girl in SCHOOL. Everyone loved her at SCHOOL. She hanged out with the most popular girls at school, but soon she found out she'll only be popular at her school, this year, and she only had 16 days to enjoy the popularity. Her grad. dance was coming up and that was the last of it. But during her time as Ms.Popularity she found some true friends who'll always love her as who she'll be. BeeBee, Nina, Jared, and many others. If you are interested in the book then pick it up and you can find out what happened at the end.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: Levine's "Ella Enchanted" was wonderful, more than 5 stars. This book starts out well, but goes downhill. The writing is not as good as "Ella," the characters are not as well drawn, and the plot becomes tedious after awhile. It's okay, but lacks brilliance. Also, whereas Ella was easy to identify with for anyone -- she was universal -- this heroine, Wilma, is not. She's too caught up in the superficial aspects of junior high school that (really) do not appeal to every eighth grader and that make her seem contemptible.

Summary: Unbelievable,unbeatable, utterly fantastic!
Review: Again, Mrs. Levine gives me a reason to look foward to reading her next book after reading "The Wish". This book is about the unpopular Wilma whose friends leave her alone in 8th grade where she gets a pretty good boost of hope until a point-of-view essay moves her from okay to unaccepetable. Out of the spot light, one day, She meets a strange lady on a subway whom she lends her seat to. for being so kind, The old lady grants her one wish: "I wish to be the most popular kid in Cleaverford middle shcool." Stepping off the subway, she is the most popular kid in Cleaverford. In school, she recieves about forty notes from boys asking for her to go to cleaverford grad night with them. At home, she has so many people call her, her sister knows when the phones ringing "don't get it, Its for Wilma." And, correct each time. Now, she's best friends with the popular girls, she has a boyfriend, and life couldn't be better. There's still one problem: How long will the spell last? Will she be popular forever? Read this book for a good laugh, romance, and to see how some of us can really make our dreams come true-- You just have to look inside.

Summary: Enjoyable, but different then the rest of Levine's books.
Review: I excepected another one of Gail Carson Levine's fantasy books, or maybe I expected a book that would create a different world to me. Though it was vivid and and colorful, and good, it didn't follow along the same lines as other books of her's. I don't regret reading this book, though, and I still recoment it to people. It was a bit hard to put down in ways, and I finished it in less then a day, but I do recomend it to any one.

Summary: The Picasso of Kids' Fantasy
Review: There are three kinds of books: ones that you hate,ones that you like but you don't feel like you live in and ones that you feel like you live in. This one was the second kind. Wilma made a wish. Little did she know how a small wish could cause so much trouble.... I have read most of her books and loved them all!
