Summary: Awsome! Daisy Rules!
Review: Daisy is my favourite "Sister" of the Walkers. She's a real person (technically) and goes through a realistic experience after an injury. Anyone should read this story--and this series.

Summary: Daisy's growing-up story
Review: Daisy is the second of four flower-named sisters (they say every author is allowed one gimmick, so I guess Diane Schwemm can get away with this one. Plus, it's not like their names are Chrysanthemum or anything). Two years younger than the oldest sister Rose, Daisy has always been the cheerful, dependable one in her family. She's always been the one to help her little sisters, cut off fights, set the table, mow the lawn, be happy. But when she turns 16 and injures her knee, she finds it hard to continue being the perfet daughter, especially to her mother's new boyfriend Hal.

Initially it took me a while to warm up to Daisy's story; Laurel was always my favorite sister. But it's easy to understand Daisy's frustration and anger at Hal, especially since she was always closest to their father, who died in a boating accident when she was 13. That's another thing I like about Schwemm; in the first book, Rose's, we've seen the way Daisy is protective of her father's memory. The four books really blend nicely.

Peter is interesting, mainly because he's unique and it's easy to see how Daisy would be attracted to that - especially if she's trying to annoy her mother. He's also very different from the usual standard of perfection that Daisy is. Also, she doesn't just rebel for the sake of rebelling. She knows that some of the things Peter does, like stealing and breaking windows with beer bottles, is wrong. It's really good to watch her finding it within herself to do what's right.

Like the other three books, Daisy's story ends hopefully - she manages some sort of a decent conversation with Hal, tries to build a relationship with her mother, and starts playing sports again. They say a good book should see the main character change from beginning to end, and Daisy does. She sort of changes back - from perfect to alterna-goth back to perfect again - and yet she's not really perfect. Rather, she's gotten a good idea of why she wants to be the happy, cheerful, busy person she once was. And she's choosing that, rather than just going along with it.

Summary: I recommend this book to everyone
Review: I read this book for a book report. I thought it was extremely straight forward the way Diane,the author,described everything. It had very emotional sentences. It seemed so real the way Daisy changed for Peter. I recommend that everyone reads all four of the books including Rose, Daisy, Laurel, and Lily.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Series
Review: This book is a great coninuence of Rose's. Daisy's involved in sports school, and now has a boyfriend and a job. Its amazing she got throught it all. But afew minor derails as her path through life continues. Dont read Laurel or Lily before you read this book. I read Daisy, Rose, Lily and Im still waiting on Laurel, Its hard to get these book since they are no longer in publish. My dad owns a book company and hes having trouble, but he found It...Just waiting for It to get in. If you need a book, aepbooks.com will find it for you. Amazing book, Daisy is my favorite. Read this book, and then pass it down to a little sister or a neighbor. They'll love it too.
