" A cute story - I had a hard time believing 12 year olds would be in relationships, but that's probably because of my upbringing. Overall, I liked it, although the moral of the story is a bit ambiguous. "
" It was ok. I listened to it and it had good readers. The main characters are 12. It gives the reader ideas on how to play one parent off the other especially if they are divorced and the characters kept lying to their parents. So, it's ok but not my favorite. But I don't like Fudge books either. "
" This book is kind of unfantastic. It is good, but not special in any kind of way. If you like that kind of boy-girl relationship, go ahead. "
" In my opinion, this book was kind of stupid... I guess it just depends on the person reading it. I thought that the characters were stereotypical and that the plot was also kind of boring... "
" I really liked this book. I learned that you should stick with friends through rough times. "
