Summary: Don't Look and it Wont Hurt
Review: A readers first impression of Don't Look and it wont Hurt by Richard Peck, is if you are a teenager, you could identify with the normal problems teenagers do. This is a book of suspense and courage. This is a great book and I encourage you to read it. Claypitts, known as the "Pearl of the Prairie," is where the Patterson's live. Liz the youngest, Carol in the middle, and the oldest is Ellen. Claypitts is the kind of town you drive right through and don't even notice. Even thought it is small it still has its share of problems. Kids using drugs and teenagers getting pregnant. Carol Patterson is a girl in the middle; in the middle of her sisters, in the middle of her adolescence, and in the middle of her families many problems. At Carol's high school her shyness and ragged clothes maker her outcast. When Carol and Liz get together her shyness goes away. They let their imaginations take them places they've never been before. An unexpected turn happens in Carol's life when she finds out her older sister Ellen is pregnant. Through it all Carol changes in a way she has never changed before. Don't Look and it won't hurt; in my opinion is a great book. Anyone could read it even if you aren't the best of readers. It has a satisfying ending which you will love. Don't Look and it Wont Hurt will touch you with its honesty and sensitivity.

Review: I found this book to be nothing but good. It was very good, and even though the ending was like shortened it's ok. The book is about a girl who's family is not to rich and her sister gets pregnant. The teenage girl Carol is like and outsider and is not popular at all. She later on meets a boy and becomes very close. She now is enteracting with other people and actually has friends. Once you start reading this book you won't be able to put it down. At the end you find your self wishing the author had written more, I for one read slow so that I could still have it iguess I was quite attatched. You'll enjoy it! I reccomend this book to everyone young and old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Review: I read this book when I was bearly a teenage and fell in love with it. Every teenager goes through the same feelings and worries Carol does about "fitting in". This book helps to show that growing up we all have the same worries and fears, and the only person you have to worry about liking you is you. If you can like who you are, then what everyone else thinks about you is meaningless. It is definitely worth reading. I still have my copy and will pull it out once and a while to read it again. When my children get older, I want them to read it too!
