About the author
Marjorie Weinman Sharmat
236 books120 followersMarjorie Weinman Sharmat was an American children's writer. She wrote more than 130 books for children and teens and her books have been translated into several languages. They have won awards including Book of the Year by the Library of Congress or have become selections by the Literary Guild.
Perhaps Sharmat's most popular work features the child detective Nate the Great. He was inspired by and named after her father, who lived to see the first Nate book published. One story, Nate the Great Goes Undercover, was adapted as a made-for-TV movie that won the Los Angeles International Children's Film Festival Award. Sharmat's husband Mitchell Sharmat expanded Nate's storyline by creating Olivia Sharp, his cousin and fellow detective. Husband and wife wrote four Olivia Sharp books published 1989 to 1991. During the 1990s, their son Craig Sharmat (then in his thirties) wrote three Nate books with his mother. In the late 2010s, their other son Andrew Sharmat co-wrote the last two Nate books written while Marjorie Weinman Sharmat was alive. With Marjorie Weinman Sharmat's passing in 2019 Andrew has continued writing the series with Nate the Great and the Earth Day Robot (2021).
In the mid-1980s Sharmat wrote three books published in 1984 and 1985 under the pseudonym Wendy Andrews.
Sharmat also wrote the Sorority Sisters series, eight short novels published in 1986 and 1987. They are romantic fiction with a sense of humor. They are set in a California public high school (day school for ages 14 to 18, approximately).

I've collected every book in this little series over the last 10 years or so and had put off diving in, until this week.
And huh.
So far my impression isn't the best. New girl Kim moves to Palm Canyon, AZ, from NYC and is immediately invited to join an exclusive 10-member high school sorority. We barely learn anything interesting about her, besides a single friend she makes who isn't "cool" and a dreamy boy she has a crush on, who is also being wooed by another sorority wannabe. The sorority she joins is barely fleshed out or given much detail, and for such a small group, the characters are all one big blur. A bizarre side plot is an old friend from New York flies across the country to visit and declare his love...and he's a 13 year old boy (Kim is 16!) He gives her a diamond ring and kisses her passionately, so she takes him to her sorority dance because she feels like she can't say no, and I'm sorry, what?????
I kind of need to read the next book because I have no idea if anyone who was introduced in book one will be an important future character.

Another book where the fat girl wears a size 6 at most, and is well above 5'4".
