Summary: This series is great!!!
Review: Clearwater Crossings is one of the best teen series I've ever read. It deals with real issues and is not far fetched like some series are. It deals with issues such as relationships and religion and the characters go through some of the same problems we all go through as teenagers. These books are very exciting and real to life and that's something you don't find very often. Laura Peyton Roberts is an excellent writer and if you haven't read any of these books, you should. Be sure to start with the first one though or they won't make any sense. If you read one, you'll have to read the rest of them or you will never find out how it ends! I can't wait to read the next book!! The author really knows how to leave you hanging!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Still waters run deep
Review: I thought that in this installment of Clearwater Crossing, Roberts lacked development of characters. It wasn't as meaningful as any of the other books in the series. It left every conflict it brought up completely unresolved, and I prefer to have more resolutions. Although I understand that to continue the series, she must leave some conflicts unresolved, I felt this time she left far too many problems unsolved.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: I thought that this book was really good. The book was so life like. Not like some books where they try to make it life like but no one can ever relate to them. This is practically a dictation of the average teens life. I loved this book and if you have enjoyed other clearwater crossing books in the past you're guarenteed to love this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Still waters run deep
Review: I'm a 12 year old reader from CA. I have read all the Clearwater Crossing books, and this is my favorite. The Melanie/Jesse thing is driving me nuts. Does she love him? Does he love her? At the end, I was almost screaming at Melanie for being so dense. The Ben thing was a little undeveloped, but very interesting. After all, if you don't like the person you're kissing, than the kiss is worth nothing at all. As for Melanie and Jesse, if they're ever going to have a serious relationship, they both need to acknowledgde their feelings, not deny them, and learn to trust each other. I hope this review helped you!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this series!
Review: Its really great because all of the characters are so different, but they're friends. In this book, many things happen. Like Nicole almost doesn't go on the trip, and Jenna wants to fix her sister Caitlin up, but she only ends up getting her angry at her! And there's problems for Leah and Miguel for the future, and you wonder what's going to happen with them. You really have to start at the first book to understand whats happening - and I won't give away the ending for those of you who haven't finished it yet. I'm looking forward to nine and ten coming out to see how Leah does in the modeling contest.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One Real Thing Review
Review: Melanie is saddened when another holiday comes. Her father will be drinking and her mother will still be buried in Iowa. She brightens up, though, when her favorite Junior Explorer (Amy) spends the holiday with her. Meanwhile, things with Jesse are going weird.

Ben has never kissed anyone before. He decides to try it--but on who?

Leah is preparing herself for possibly the most embarrassing moment of her life--the finals of the modeling contest in California.

Summary: wonderful
Review: Yet another wonderful book for adolescents. Being thirteen, I love to read stories that reflect all of the things Ms. Roberts includes. She has a very real approach to the world, and the topics she writes about I can really relate to. This book was very good, but overall I think I'm just a huge fan of the series. Looking forward to #9, and I recommend Clearwater Crossing to everyone!
