Summary: This is a really good book.
Review: I have all of the Clearwater Crossing books. I have enjoyed reading them. They are good books for teenagers. It is very hard to find books for teenagers with integrity. I am thirteen and this one was one of my favorite books.

Summary: What happened!?!?
Review: I started reading the Clearwater Crossing series when I found the first book at the library. Since then I have been buying the books from the book store because of the time that it takes for the library to get the books. I love this series, but not this book, it's a big let down.

Eight Prime is taking CPR and water training training classes in order to become certified camp counselors for Camp Clearwater. Jenna is horrified that nobody is taking it seriously except her and Peter. Melanie is occupied with her confussion about her feelings for Jessie, Ben is acting like his normal childish self, and Leah and Miguel are having problems with their relationship.

Nicole recently got into the CCHS cheerleading squad after Melanie dropped out. She is thrilled about getting to know her fellow cheerleaders, but soon finds out that they don't want to have anything to do with her, due to their suspicions that they lost Melainie because of her. Nicole is also having to deal with Courtney, who recently always has her nose in Self-Help books.

Miguel is even more determined than ever to get his family into a house of their own. He has even picked one out and is working hard to get a down payment together. Leah supports him, but is upset that he will let it keep him from enjoying the end of his senior year with her. Meanwhile, Shane, a college guy Leah's father introduced her to, is constantly stopping over at her house to give her presents and to ask her to go places with him.

Jenna and Peter are busier than ever getting ready for Camp Clearwater. While Jenna is out getting craft supplies she misses a turn and has to turn around in Miguel's neighborhood. She wishes she didn't, however, when she spots Miguel kissing Sabrina.

This book is by far the worst Clearwater Crossing book so far. The plot is exciting, but the characters act totally different than they did in the previous books. For example, Jenna seems like someone half her age and at one point yells at everyone in Eight Prime. Also, Jesse actually seemed half-way decent in this book.

If you have never read any of the other Clearwater Crossing books, don't start with this one. But if you have read all the other ones go get it from the library. After reading it once, I doubt you'll ever read it again.

Summary: Tried & True Review
Review: Leah and Miguel have been through practically everything together. Now that they're about to graduate, Leah feels like she and Miguel should be together all the time--or most of it, anyway. Miguel is constantly still trying to get his family into a house of their own, away from public housing. Meanwhile, Leah turns 18 and gets some rather nice gifts--especially from a college boy named Shane who likes her. Jenna drives one day into Miguel's neighborhood by accident, but wishes she hadn't when she sees Miguel and his former co-worker Sabrina.

Jenna is frustrated because practically no one is taking the CPR classes seriously except her. Everyone tries to get it together so that they can be certified camp counselors.

Nicole is a cheerleader! Who would have thought that Melanie would have dropped out? Unfortunately, the new squad doesn't seem to accept her very well--especially after Nicole blabs the REAL reason for Melanie's dropping out. Will she ever be accepted before her senior year? Cheerleading camp?

Summary: TRULY FANTASTIC
Review: This is one of the best books in the series. The whole series is wonderful and fascinating, and I highly recommend it for any teenager. I love Leah and Miguel, and this is one my favorite books ever!!! The series got better as it went on, and I loved reading about Leah and Miguel. Definetly some of the best books ever written. I'm angry at myself, though, because like an idiot I checked all the books out of the library, and now they're out of print...every book, though, is worth any money you spend it. BUY THESE BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: By far the best CCHS book ever!!
Review: This was the best Clearwater Crossing book yet, and I have them all. I can't wait to find out if Jesse and Melanie get back together. I hope they do. I'm mad at Nicole for dumping Guy. She doesn't deserve him. I really can't wait for the next book to come out!!

Review: Tried and True, like the rest of the Clearwater Crossing books, is another awesome addition to the series. I just got the book and wasn't able to put it down.

Eight Prime is finally getting closer to fulfilling their dream of having summer camp. They still have to finish the necessary safety courses, but with all the goofing off, Jenna is afraid they're never going to pass. While Jenna and Peter are devoted to the summer camp preparations, Nicole is attempting to establish herself as a cheerleader, Miguel is obsessed with work, work, work, and Leah is doubtful about her future. Melanie, frustrated with getting Jesse back and uncertain about her choice of dropping out of cheerleading, can't seem to make much progress with anything. And Ben is just Ben.

There's not a dull moment in this book as the eight are trying to have fun preparing for summer holidays amid their struggles. Whether it's Leah questioning Miguel's attitude or Nicole trying to be popular, this book was great to read. It was funny, thoughtful, and intriguing. I definitely recommend it anyone who enjoys this series or looking for a fun new realistic series to read.
