YEARBOOK MEMORIES (Fabulous Five Super Edition, No. 4)

Rating:
Summary: One of my favorites of the series
Review: I really love all the fab five books, and this was no exception. I thought it was really cool how they had first-person accounts from each of the fab fivers. I loved how Jana and Taffy made up- everyone is always dissing Jana because she acts immature sometimes, but at least she realizes it and tries to mend her faults. Beth's memory was really good, too, on how she learned it's okay to be your own person. The other memories were fun to read as well, and the yearbook section was SO COOL! I wish these books were still in print so you could read it too.

Summary: Good Books Lost
Review: The books in this series were the first real books that I read willingly on my own as a child. It is sad that they are no longer printed and other children will never have them to treasure forever.

Summary: Interesting memories...
Review: This was more real than most of the others books in this series. I loved the first-person accounts of each of the Fab Five. Neat how Christie actually MET Diana of Windsor. I could imagine dear Diana as she was portrayed...Diana was always so sweet & polite. The memory that captured my attention the most was Beth's. Poor Beth was sometime ridiculed because she's loud, funny, dramatic, & creative. She also has a vivid imagination to think up the basketball costume for the media club's cable show. It's too bad that the other kids didn't appreciate it, even the usually open-minded Funny & Shane. I really felt for Beth when Beth overheard two girls making fun of her in the bathroom & then later kids teased her in a mean way. Beth reminds me of Claudia Kishi & Abby Stevenson from the BSC series. Beth & Katie were my two favorite characters of the series with Christie & Mona (who reminds me of the BSC's Mary Anne Spier) not far behind. I kind of see Dekeisha & Whitney being friends with Christie, Katie, Beth in the future, maybe high school & Jana (who's still glued to her ever-devoted boyfriend Randy) & Melanie drifting away from them. I thought the little signatures were cute; it made the book look like an actual yearbook. Although many of the characters were shallow & boy & appearance-obsessed, there were some good characters in here that I would have like to see developed more in future books, namely Katie Shannon, Beth Barry, Christie Winchell, Dekeisha Adams, Whitey Larkin, Mona Vaughn, Curtis Trowbridge, & Shane Arrington.
