Wow! How much I actually enjoyed this book blows me away. It may just be one of my favorite in the series.
Yes, Holly is growing up. I actually really liked how she was mature in this book. She was pretty patient, and open to advice, which can be difficult. Thinking back to some of the other books in this series I've read this is one of the best written.
The dialogue is believable and realistic and you feel with Holly.
So yeah, this was totally worth picking up again! anyone 12+ I'm sure will enjoy it!
Fav. parts-
Holly's talk with her mom

A Quickie Review

When Holly and Andie's junior high school becomes overcrowded, they get bumped up to high school! Andie decides to run for class president…but her choice causes a rift between her and Holly! This is back to normal for the series; this far into it, that's about all I can say.

Content Concerns: Nothing of note. It's as clean as the average episode of Lizzie McGuire.

Score: 4.25/5

One my fave series by her. I wish she would do another series with Holly and her friends. Holly and Andie remind me of me and my best friend when I was in High School.
