Rating: Summary: A heartbreakingly funny, moving, beautifully written book Review: There's not a whole lot that happens in this book--it's basically an account of how one girl gets dumped by her best friend and then gets over the heartbreak of being cast aside. But the book is an amazing little gem, both funny and sad and full of casual profound moments that the narrator comes upon in really natural ways. The prose is sharp and funny and nicely complemented by the author's hilarious pictures. The best compliment I can pay to the work is to say that I wish I'd read this book when *I* was thirteen and coping with the painful fact that my best friend and I had grown apart. It would have made a world of difference to me. A great book. Enough said.
Rating: Summary: Fan Mail From Some Flounder Review: This book is a quiet and elegant delight. I enjoyed it, and my eleven year old daughter is thoroughly enjoying both the text and the illustrations. (My personal favorites: the Insul-brick drawing and the fake-wood desktop owl face.) Who else but Lynne Rae Perkins would think to render such things!
Rating: Summary: BORING Review: This book needs more action and more drama. I liked the way it was inside her head and you like were seeing what she sees.It was okay but I wouldn't have read it if I didn't have to!
Rating: Summary: Step Right Up For a Great Find!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: This book really caught my eye. I thought that this book was going to be boring but, it sparked my intrests in a heart beet. Debbie was going through a sad and rewarding journey. Feeling alone is the thing that seemed to be the trend in this book. Through the tears and the laughter Debbie makes the best of what she has.
