The Sisters Club

by Megan McDonald

Candlewick Press

Meet the Sisters Club: 12-year-old Alex, aspiring actress and drama queen; 8-year-old Joey, homework lover and pioneer wannabe; and smack in the middle, 10-year-old Stevie. From the author of the Judy Moody books, this exciting novel captures the warmth, humor—and

squabbles—of three spunky sisters.

Dead Is The New Black sounds uber cool!
But I'm too obsessed with Twilight at the moment Tong

jadedstar01 on 9/21/2008 10:04:45 AM

hi

meandyou on 9/21/2008 11:23:25 PM

It kind of bothers me that only 2 of the books were realistic fiction (girl's interest) and most of the rest were fantasy/magic. I think their should be more of a variety.

allmaewin on 9/22/2008 5:11:17 PM

I love the Private series by Kate Brian. they are all so consistantly good!

icepanda23 on 9/22/2008 5:52:00 PM

TWILIGHT IS AWESOME!!!
twilighter for eternity!!!
im rereading the series

o, and im only on the first one, but the gemma doyle trilogy is really good(i accidently read like 50 pages of the last one b4 i realized i had no idea what the heck was going on). its rebel angels, a great and terrible beauty, and a sweet far thing.

k, well bye people!



purplecrazed on 9/22/2008 6:12:34 PM

I,d really like to tread that book sounds interesting

Mizz.Nellie on 9/23/2008 1:12:40 PM

How To Be Popular by Meg Cabot
Airhead by Meg Cabot(AWESOMEEEE!!!!)

laurenxx9449 on 9/24/2008 11:45:36 PM

The best series are:

Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn & Midnight Sun by Stephanie Meyer.

The Uglies, The Pretties, The Specials, & The Extras by Scott Westerfield.

Montmorency, Montmorency On The Rocks, Montmorency & The Assassins, Montmorency's Revenge by Eleanor Updale.

tiannaj on 9/25/2008 1:51:51 AM

i love reading, so i can't wait to read these new books. i love reading fantasy books, but some not-too-phony-and-fake-and-girly realistic fiction books are good too. the two best series' are definitely:

-the twilight saga by stephenie meyer
-the gemma doyle trilogy by libba bray

and my favorite books that aren't part of a series are:

-open ice by pat hughes
-tantalize by cynthia leitich smith (this is an awesome book for all of the twilight fans - human, vampire, werewolve love triangle!)

"open ice" is really good because i play hockey and it's a fiction book about hockey, but i think it's also really good for anyone who plays a sport and has had to face a life-altering injury.

these are some of my faves, and i think that if you haven't read them you should definitely read them ASAP!

cami-chic on 9/25/2008 4:54:53 PM

kjj96 on 9/26/2008 1:26:23 PM
