If You Only Knew (The Friendship Ring, 1)

Summary: If You Only Knew
Review: "If You Only Knew" is the best book I have ever read. I can relate to Zoe (the main character), because I can get along with everybody, and I have dealt with becoming best friends with someone who already had one. She deals with things real preteen girls have to deal with: friends, family, and boys. I couldn't have read a better book!

Summary: Helen's review of "If Only You Knew"
Review: "When you're the yougest of five girls,nothing's your own" that's the first sentence of the book.Zoe Grandon is the fifth child in the Grandon family. she has heroldest sister,Anne Marie's mouth, her second oldest sister Bay's hair. But unfortunately, she has her mom's behind. Zoe is friends with everyone.Even boys.Zoe is kind spirited and friendly.Zoe has a crush on herf riend,Tommy. But her almost best friend, C.J,has a crush on him too! Zoe can't decide whether to she should go after Tommy or let C.J have him. But she finally decides that since C.J liked him first,C.J should have Tommy. But does Tommy like Zoe? Or does Tommy likeC.J? What if he doesn't like any of them?

I first chose this book when I saw my friend reading it. The cover was a picture of a girl holding a tennis racket in her hand.I read the blurb and I was hooked. But I was confused too. In the blurb,there was this word, hormones.What does it mean?I asked my teacher, Mr.Carbone.I found out that hormones means something in your body that makes you act differently and behave differemtly.I was still puzzled.As I read more, I understood what it meant.I really like this book and I want to read the other books in the series. It's a very good book and I know other people would enjoy it.

When Zoe let CJ have Tommy, I was angry.If Iwas Zoe, I would go after Tommy. After all, so what if CJ liked Tommy first? Zoe KNEW Tommy first. Zoe is just too friendly to hurt CJ's feelings. Another book, "Kitty in High School" is about the same thing. Kitty likes a boy named Skip. Kitty wasn't sure if she should ask Skip to the dance, and when Kitty makes up her mind, Skip is taken by her best friend. So if Zoe doesn't go and try to win Tommy back,she'll never get the chance!

My favorite part in this book is the whole book, so there's not much to explain, is there?

I would recommend this book to people who are ready to learn about growing up. If you are like zoe and you have a crush on someone, read this book and you might learn something.

Summary: One of my favorite books of all time!
Review: At first, when I saw that this was part of a series ("The Friendship Ring"), I thought 'Oh, it's just another Babysitters Club or Sweet Valley book series.' But when I actually read this and the other books, I couldn't put them down! They are so realistic and made me want to be friends with Zoe, C.J., Olivia and Morgan, too. I especially thought it would be fun to be part of Zoe's family, since I have two brothers and she has all those fun sisters. Well anyway, it's a really good book! :-)
