Summary: FUN, QUICK READ
Review: 'thwonk' is an easy, quick read that makes you laugh at loud at all a.j.mccreary's 'adventures' with a cupid named jonathon. the plot in this book is really original and a lot of fun to read about. i also liked reading about a.j.'s passion--photography. it gave more variety to the story and made me want to go out and buy a camera. i reccomend this book to people who have just finished a long meaningful novel and want something light to read, or anyone who just wants a good laugh. also check out other books by joan bauer

Summary: Different, comical teen romance
Review: A.J. McCreary, ace photographer, has only two problems: her father's refusal to acknowledge her talent and her unrequited adoration of hunky, popular Peter Terris, foxiest of the foxy guys and boyfriend of evilly beautiful Julia Hart. Suddenly, A.J.'s life is invaded by a tiny cupid named Jonathan, armed with magical arrows, sarcasm, and help for the cosmically confused. Will A.J. learn to look beyond appearances? Or will she be content to "date royalty", no matter his personality?After reading typical teen romances, this is a refreshing change of pace. The story is told with the kind of irony and humor that Joan Bauer is known for, and girls will easily sypathzize with the confused, lost A.J. and her search for truth through photography and true love. I reccomend any book by Joan Bauer(Squashed, Rules of the Road) for teenage girls, and even older ones(my mom loves her books).

Summary: Thwonk
Review: Allison Jean McCreary or A.J. as her friends call her, is a senior. She has a talent for photography and is dying to go to art school. She is artistic and has a great imagination. But, on the other hand she is obsessed with Peter Terris, a guy from school, and she has liked him for five months. Then all of the sudden a cupid shows up and offers A.J. one wish. This one wish can help A.J. in only one way: artistically, academically, or romantically. She has to pick one of these things. Would she want to go to art school and have a great career in photography, or will she choose the love of her life, Peter? She knows that she should concentrate on going to a top-quality school, but of course, A.J. picks...
I thought this book was really good and interesting. I liked it because it was not boring and it was like the life of a teenager, even though, you know that a real cupid cannot really come into your life. But overall I thought this book was very exciting and well written.

Summary: A great book!
Review: I read Thwonk in less than a day. I must say, it was a great book! It was different from other books I've read. It had a bit of everything, comedy to romance, and even suspense. I am 13 years old. The book was very interesting and I would recommend it to anyone, or at least any teen.

Summary: Thwonk
Review: I really liked this book. It was a good topic for a teenage girl. Even the book did not have a realistic plot every teenager at one time or another has wanted a little being whether it be a cupid or a genie to make there wishes come true. This book also goes to show you that no matter how bad you want love if you force yourself into it the results may not always be picture perfect. Because when a cupid pops into her life she has to make choices about her future but does not listen to what the cupid has to say. When she makes her wish not all the she wants happens. She thinks she has just gotten a dream date with the most popular guy in school but little does she know what a disaster the next few months will be. After things get out of hand she isnt really sure what she wants to do. All she knows she wants is the little cupid back. Will the cupid come back? Will her life take a turn for the better? Will her wish be undone? You have to read it to find out.

Summary: Not that great
Review: It wasn't that great. It was an ordinary story, nothing special. It is kind of like the color gray. I wouldn't recommend reading this book, unless you are that bored.

Summary: Wishes can help and hurt!
Review: This book is a comical look into the life of teen romance. Within the first pages I had fallen in love with Johnathon the Cupid.
AJ is so much like myself it's scary. I hope I never end up in the mess she does though. This book has the happy ending that we all look for, but not the endin that the book leads you to believe.
This book was a two day read. Easy reading. Awesome book.
