Summary: Make Lemonade
Review: Make Lemonade was about this teenage girl and she had two babies. She is looking for a babysitter for her children so she can go to work. So she can go to work. She finds a teenage girl that is her age.
The teenage girl said she could baby sit but she has to ask her mother first.and when she asked her mom her mom said, "Are you sure your ready to baby sit, if you do you have to keep your grades up."
Yes I do recommand this book because this story is telling all teenage girls not to have a baby because the father is not going to be thier to raise the baby, and so you don't make a big mistake in your life. So you don't have to take care of yourself and if you do have a baby when your a teenager you should handle it the way the girl did in the story.

Review: i just finished this book, and i was compelled to write a review immediately because it was that good.this is quite possibly the best novel written in verse i have ever come across. there is a clarity in the story that is strikingly beautiful, the kind of clarity that will make the story fall into you. it will make you remember it, or maybe it will remember you. please don't pass this one by. it is a must read. let lavaughn's determination be your determination. let jolly's success be your success. let yourself fall in love with jeremy and jilly. because this story will let you. this story made me want a lemon tree. it made me want to make things grow. it made me want to spend a bright, sunny summer afternoon drinking fresh lemonade with thoughts of beautiful things in my mind. it made me wish the world was beautiful, but it made me realize that, in a way, it is.

Summary: An Interesting Book, But One That Delves Into Strange Issues
Review: This book was okay, but a little bizarre. First of all, some general information. This book is set up in non-rhyming poem format, much like Out of the Dust. However, this book is also divided into chapters and parts. Secondly, my opinion. Like I said, this book is okay, but it has some strange things in it. First of all, what is up with the mother of the kids? She is totally ungrateful for the efforts of the protagonist. Also, it's kind of sick that she is a seventeen year-old mother with two kids. In her own words "two kids got me confused enough to get me pregnant." What is up with that? Second, the protagonist's mom is a little obsessive and unparentlike. The mother of the protagonist is totally obsessed with sending her kid to college. Also, she only talks to her daughter about four times a day. If this is what the "real world" is like, I'll take fantasy books any day. Lastly, my recommendations. I would recommend this to those of you who like books with imperfect characters because they're "more real." I would not recommend this book to people like me, who prefer a book where the characters are living either a good life, or a bad life that turns into a good life. This book offers neither. It would probably be better to read a fantasy book or something.

Summary: Sweet and tender story of growing up
Review: "This word college is in my house
and you have to walk around it in the rooms
like furniture..." Fourteen-year-old LaVaughn is bound and determined to go to college, despite her low-income family life, which pretty much is just her Mom and herself. She takes on a babysitting job for Jolly, a woman not much older that LaVaughn, but who is saddled with two kids already. With no prospects for the future....even less so because she's just gotten fired from her job because her boss thought that "low-income" means "easy", Jolly cannot pay LaVaughn. LaVaughn, though, is already attached to Jolly's two kids...and the drama unfolds. Told in a realistic and visionary voice, "Make Lemonade" is an incredible tale of standing up for what you believe in and not wavering in the face of self-doubt or the doubt of others. LaVaughn perseveres and grows because of it, as do all of the central characters in Virginia Euwer Wolff's first of a trilogy story geared toward young adults. Recommended.

Summary: Heart touching episode
Review: I enjoyed Make Lemonade because of its heart touching that it is pretty realistic. It teaches the basic moral of our very own lives. LaVaughn who wanted to make a basic living money and college money had fell into the arms of Jolly, a seventeen-year-old teenage mom. Jolly's two kids had the faith for LaVaughn, they were smart even though that they are a part of a poor family. The part that touched me at the beginning was when Jolly was on the floor and Jeremy hanging on to LaVaughn. It was then when the story really began. The poverty and the struggle effected for both of the teens. They keep fighting, Jolly finally when back to school her hard work finally paid off. When the counselor try to break them a part it was no use their friendship never broke. The story finally reaches to the climax where Jolly tells the story of the old women, "when life gives you lemon make lemonade" was finally made. Finally the "lemons" that Jolly had turned into "lemonades". Jolly's daughter, a toy spider had choked Jilly. Jolly was finally a hero. The story of the two courageous young women faced difficulty. The story is pretty confusing few of the chapters are unnecessary to write like chapter twenty-nine when LaVaughn's mother told her about the gutter in the bowling alley. It was unnecessary to write because in any of the chapter the author could simply add the comment to the end. But after the entire story in the heart warm episode of a true life situation.

Summary: My opinion on make lemonade
Review: I thought this book was really good!!!One thing that i likedabout the book is how LaVaughn helped her friend, Jolly even thoughshe did not get paid sometimes. There were even times when LaVaughndid not do her own school work because she knew how badly Jolly neededher help.I learned ... because you are still young and have alot tolearn about yourself and the world. The book also points out that ifyo have tough times you can make the best of it and survive and go onto a better life. In other words,one should think positive and makelemonade out of lemons.

Summary: Make Lemonde: My Opinion
Review: I enjoyed Make Lemonade beacuse of it's realism, emphisis on learning, and emphisis on responsibilty. Make Lemonade was a true book that displayed realism and showed life as it really was. For example, it explained how a seventeen-year-old girl struggled her way to bring up children. Another reason i enjoyed this book is beacuse of its emphisis on learning. Learning is very important in life beacuse it tells how i will live the rest of my life. For example, Lavaughn wanted to go to college to get out of the town she was in, and live a better life. The last reason i enjoyed Make Lemonade was because of its emphisis on responsibility. Lavaughn's mother greatly emphisized on her schoolwork. She did this so Lavaughn can easily get into college-and live better life. In the end, Make Lemonade had great emphisis on morals that should be important in everyone's life.

Summary: Make Lemonade
Review: I thought it was clever how the author gave LaVaughn a "look into the future." LaVaughn realized the importance of going to college by seeing how Jolly's life turned out, as Jolly could not afford to go to college. I also liked how the book taught me an important lesson about life. If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
