Summary: A little out-dated, but still okay
Review: Okay, so Judy Blume's books do seem, with the exception of her latest one (the new "Fudge" book), to be stuck in the 1970s' and very much outdated, but I still like this book pretty well. Although my parents have never been divorced and I don't have an older brother and younger sister as Karen, the narrator of Judy's story, does, it is the type of book you can sympathize with.Karen is a sixth grader who must deal with the constant arguments between her parents. She is not completely unaware of the fighting that gets worse and yet thinks she can somehow fix it. Well, as it is, her parents do get a divorce, and Karen's life goes down from there: she's worried she'll never see her dad, the one boy she likes has moved, and her teacher is a "witch" (yes, those are the words; not what you'd think.) She, however, tries her hardest to make her parents love each other and learns the hard way it can't. To quote Karen's use of rating her days with letter grades, this book is a B+ - a little out-dated, but you're sure to love it. Enjoy!

Summary: It's No the End of the World
Review: This book is about an 11 year old girl who's parents are going through a divorce. She feels like she is in the middle and that she is the cause. Her older brother Jeff is his moms favorite and her younger sister Amy is her fathers favorite. Amy is to young to understand whats going on and Jeff just runs away from the truth. I reccomend this book to anyone whos parents are divorced or if you like a page turner. I couldnt put this book down because every page kept me on the edge of my seat!

Summary: It's not the end of the world.
Review: This book is exciting and sad in a way. It tells about a girl named Karen and how she felt when her parents filed for a divorce. She is now worried that she wont see her dad again if she has to stay with her mom . She decited that she would try as hard as she could to get them back together. But when things started to get physical she gave up all hope.

Summary: You are not alone
Review: This book was purchased for me by my Godmother (Aunt) when I was in sixth grade and my parents were getting divorced. It really helped me get through that troubling time and if nothing else showed me that I was not alone and this had happened to many children my age. Although I truly did feel this was 'the end of the world' this book enlightened me, obviously by the title, that it was not. Well, now I have received word that my Goddaughter's (niece) parents are going to be splitting up, so I have taken on the responsiblity, like that of my Godmother, to purchase this great book for my niece. I am quite confident that it will help ease this terrible time for my beautiful niece. Thank you Judy Blume, and thanks again to my aunt for showing me one more way to be a great godparent.

Summary: This book is not for people who easily cry.
Review: This book was very good, but I felt like crying as I read it. It's about a girl named Karen whos parents can't stand to be in the same room togher. They get devorced and Karen hates it. She wont stop at nothing to get them back togher. She sends them a Happy Aniversary card in the mail, Invites them both over to show them her viking diorama. In the end her brother runs away and Karen's parents get in such a big fight that it seems that they want to kill each other! Karen then relizes that they wont get back togher and gets on with her life getting used to the fact that her parents are devorced and theres nothing she can do about it. This book was excellent and would recieve 10 stars from me although it was sad and made me want to cry.
