Perfect Joy

Sixth grade, Carmen is now ready for junior high school. Excited, yet, Carmen's brother is gone. Her family is now devastated by the lost. Her grades take a drastic hit as a result of it. Will Carmen be able to get back on track?

A good book overall. I believe in general any girl would be able to relate to the Carmen Brown series.

This book was very interesting.In the book their were lots of important events example: Carmens' mom thought that she had breast cancer, because she had a lump on her breast and come to find out it wasn't cancerous. Another important event is that she has a conflict with her friends from her old school, they said that she doesn't talk to them and that every time she walks by she never says anything.

Well this was a great book. I read this one day because I was bored. It talks about a girl name "Carmen Brown" who is headed to the big leagues-middle school. But she is worried how to look and be popular. Later on she comes to her senses and become a better "Carmen Brown".

This is my favorite book of the series. I like how the experiences that Carmen goes through humbles her and how she handles it. Her reaction really shows that she is a child of God and refuses to react in a non-Christianly way like the girls in the Clique series. I've learned a lot from this book.
