Summary: Messed Up!!!!!!!!
Review: After recently finishing all of my series I'd been reading, it was refreshing to find this new one to start on. As the book progresses you find yourself captivated by the problems of Meena. At first I was afraid that this might be one of those books where all you want to do is slap the main character in the face because of their stupidity, but I'll admit I was relieved when the author made the feelings of Meena actually feel real. After finishing this book I was already wishing I had bought the whole series while I was out. All I have to say is it's a great read, and if I were u make sure u get the second one to so your not in a bind like I am. I can't wait for my next trip to the bookstore. ^_^

Summary: i had almost same problem...
Review: I loved this book.And the rest of the series.I think this is one of the best.
I was raped by someone.And it felt like if i dont do anything it might just stop,
or if i told someone then it would become real, or it would distroy my prefecy happy family.
It hurt and there wright everything i did i didnt want to do anymore. Its an awsome seris.
But if your a person with a big heart. You might not be able to read this.
I cant exactly remember, but i think it a little graphic. Not a lot, lot. just a little.

Summary: Keep reading..
Review: I think this book was only "okay." At first, I really didn't like it, but it is very captivating, so I kept reading. Which is good, because the other books in the series are much better than the first one.

Summary: Keeps you reading definately
Review: I'm really into reading when I have time, sometimes I get carried away. Usually I dont do the series but I read the first book of SEVENS running outta choices.. after the first 20 pages i was hooked.. I was up to reading 2 of the books per day, so i had it finished shortly. It keeps you reading, and yeah the stories may not be totally realistic, but it keeps it interesting, and those things DO happen in real life... I'd recommend this to anyone.

Summary: "Shattered" Mirror
Review: If the kids from SWEET VALLEY HIGH moved to BEVERLY HILLS 90210 and added in a few AFTERSCHOOL SPECIALS, they would be SEVENS.Seven high school seniors are each going through a hard time:
Meena had a crush on the father of the kid she baby-sat for; the feelings were returned, with tragic results. All-American boy Jeremy loves his girlfriend Tara but is about to find out something about himself. Danny is also a musician as well as a smart kid and class clown, but his bipolar medication is not letting him feel anything, good or bad, emotion-wise. Jane has pressure from her parents and her friends to be the perfect student and the perfect musician. Karyn has feelings for her best friend Reed, but is dating his older brother T.J. Reed, also struggling with his thoughts about Karyn, is shining on the football field. Peter was in a car accident a month ago that left him paralyzed. The seven were friends when they were younger. At Peter's 10th birthday party, something horrible happened - something which is revealed little by little as the books progressed - and some of the friendships dissolved. Now, as angst hits home with each teenager, they are starting to come back together. The first novel, SHATTERED, serves as a good beginning for the series, starting with a party akin to that in 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU or other teen screen favorites. SHATTERED introduces you to each character in turn. By the end of the book, you feel sorry for Meena yet want to slap her back to reality. These books are addicting. By being written in present-tense and leading you through the characters' lives on a daily basis for seven weeks straight, the books move quickly and hold your attention. There is a little bit of something for everyone, with universal themes that anyone who has ever been in high school can relate to.

Summary: Messed Up!!!!!!!!
Review: Ok yes I know that most people said they enjoyed this book. And i guess when i first started it I thought it was aight....but then i got in to it and I mean come on she sat there and let him practically rape her and if she had struggled she could have gone to the police but instead she just lied there. I ahve no problem with the kissing scene inbetween Josh and Jeremy but then i thought ok now r they like "partners" and I just couldnt get why if he started to leave in the first place he came back.
My advice would be to get some one who really understood this book to help explain it because i was majorly confused!

Summary: An amazing, gripping book you'll never put down!
Review: SHATTERED is an amazing start to the SEVENS series. This series is a totally original idea, yet basic enough to relate to teens everywhere. The Characters in this book relate so well to everyone, yet are different enough that you cannot fully comprehend their troubles.This book is so gripping, that when you finish it, you'll be kicking yourself because you didn't buy all 7 of them. Trust me, when you consider this book, buy all seven at once or you'll be sorry!

Summary: A good introduction to a great series!
Review: The Sevens Series was recommended to me by a knowledgeable book store clerk when I asked about appropriate books for high school students. What a pleasant surprise!
The books hit a homerun in every category! First, there are the covers which feature eye-catchingly bright colors and perfectly "angsty" portraits of the main characters. Each cover features the "central" character in that book, which is useful for keeping plot lines straight; however, every character makes an appearance in each book for continuity. Second, no book is much over 200 pages, which any English teacher will tell you, is the magical threshold that makes a book "too long." Third, each character is realistically drawn and "common" enough that any reader will recognize themselves or one of their peers in at least one character. The situations are very realistic and only slightly on the melodramatic side; reading these books is very much like watching an addicting soap opera (Think a less glamorous "The O.C.").
Finally, the best part is that each book (except the last) ends with an excruciating cliffhanger which is sure make the reader clamor for the next book. There is little that is as satisfying as hearing a student beg for another book! I brought the entire series in and put it on my desk and in no time I had students reading them all. I had to start a sign-out process because of the backlog of requests for each book. I couldn't keep them on my desk!
As a side note, there are enough moral dilemmas and "what would you do" situations that this book could easily be adapted for the entire classroom. All it would take is a little creativity and willingness to create your own lesson plans!
