Honestly, I picked up the Advance Reader's Copy for my brother as an "ironic" birthday present, because he is "not a "hipster." " I mean, really, an internet-speak book with a pointedly diverse cast - for ten year olds? It seemed a bit much.But after hearing about the Scholastic controversy, I borrowed it back and read it. It was a LOT better than I was expecting! I think some things were inappropriate for elementary-schoolers (I'm surprised Scholastic cared about Milla's parents' gender but not...
Oh, Lauren...did you really think you could get away with another tawdry chick-lit? Apparently so. This book's so-called modern, tweeny style is in fact used and crumbling. Any actual tween to read this book will cringe at the fake text-speak and squealing, shallow protagonists. High Points.Again, I'm not sure what to put here. If Myracle had cut down into only one person's story, she could have made this better with some serious editing. I liked Katie-Rose well enough, so if we had focused just...
Jessica Mitchell, 11Luv Ya Bunches4 stars(Im just gonna stick right to the point) Most of this book was amazing, I never got bored. The girly drama that I've managed to stay away from was quite funny and entertaining. The reason it didnt get five stars was simply because the characters were unrealistic. Very. I mean, I know its a book, but still.THE REAL WAY THINGS ARE IN 5TH GRADE: (You should trust me, thats the grade im in now.)-The popular girls arent bossy and smart, They're ghetto, and alw...
procrastinating on hw assignments and reminiscing about my favorite childhood books? me? NEVER
Ages 9+So anyway, after hearing all of the SCHOLASTIC DOESN'T WANT BOOK-FAIR GOING ELEMENTARY SCHOOLERS TO BE EXPOSED TO A SAME SEX COUPLE hubbub, and being appropriately outraged in various social medias (fb, greader, yalsa-bk, etc) I figured the responsible thing to do would be to read the book. Truth: I didn't think I'd be interested in the book initially, because when I had flipped through the ARC back in July, I was like, ag, chat transcripts, blech. (Sorry Lauren Myracle, but I had to say
In Luv Ya Bunches, Katie-Rose, Milla, Violet and Yasaman are all experiencing their first week in the 5th grade.Katie-Rose is the techy one - she normally hides behind her camcorder. She and Camilla or “Milla” for short became friends over the summer at their summer camp. But now that school is about to start Katie-Rose is stressing because she’s not sure if her friendship with Milla will continue.Milla is the beautiful, popular one. She wears all the trendy clothes, and hangs out with the coole...
From the PublisherWhat do Katie-Rose, Yasaman, Milla, and Violet all have in common? Other than being named after flowers, practically nothing. Katie-Rose is a film director in training. Yasaman is a computer whiz. Milla is third in command of the A list. And Violet is the new girl in school. They’re fab girls, all of them, but they sure aren’t friends. And if evil queen bee Medusa— ’scuse me, Modessa—has her way, they never will be. But this is the beginning of a new school year, when anything
I TOTALLY LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!!!! IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ!!!!! Sorry but if I explain any more, my head will berst from happynes.
A book about 5th grade friendships told from the perspective of four different girls in a variety of styles: instant messages, chatroom conversations, video scripts, and traditional text. The author seems to have a checklist of diverse characters and afflictions that all must make an appearance in the 335 page story. It is written on an AR 4.4, but with one of the main characters having two moms, details of a suicide mentioned, talk of pole dancing, male anatomy joked about, thongs, crushes, and...
I won this book on goodreads, and although it is intended for a younger audience, I figured I'd read it for the fun of it. I thought the book was cute, with interesting characters and "poetic justice" for the mean girls.However, I found that the suggested age level was a little young for the subject matter. Especially the computer stuff. Although it is a different time, I don't really agree with 10-11 year olds being on chatrooms and IM, so I don't think I would let a girl of that age read this
I have read thid book last year and it was SOOOOOOOOO good! I am reading it AGAIN!
Pretty funny and clever. I was surprised at how the author easily acted exactly how my friends and I act. It was almost a little too much like how we acted.
There are books that come into certain points of your life, especially when you need them, and change you forever. This was one of those books for me. Picture a short, awkward, eleven-year-old Mexican girl who has just started sixth grade and is having trouble making friends. Her school librarian, someone she has come to see as a mother figure, recommends her a book series that her daughter has just started reading. After helping her find the book, the girl sits down and begins to read it, unawa...
