This is another classic in the Madison Finn series that brings back all the nostalgia and memories of childhood. Oh how I can not only remember those chat conversations through MSN and various chatrooms but I also can remember the wholehearted belief that you would be "best friends" with the same friends forever. There's such an innocence and naivety of being a kid. It's magical.

Coming from an area that spends more than half of the year covered in snow, I loved how this story also included a snow storm with snow days. Snow days around here were infrequent but they were always something that were wished for.

I was really hoping we would get more details about why Madison and Ivy aren't friends anymore. I think in the first book it mentions that Ivy accused Madison of cheating on a math test and got Madison in trouble? Something like that, but I'd like to know more about the events leading up to that!

Madison Finn is no Lizzie McGuire! I'm glad I bought this at a garage sale on the cheap.

I used to read this series back when I was in seventh grade so when I found this one recently I felt nostalgic and decided to read it. It is a fast read the perfect reading length for a four hour car trip. I liked this one because Madison shows character growth and some questions are solved concerning her, Ivy, and Hart. Although, there are still some questions unanswered concerning Madison and Ivy's friendship ending. It has been a while since I have read any of these and I haven't read numbers 3 & 5, so it may have been revealed already. Anyway these are fun books and I will have to see if my sister will want to read them.

It opens up a virtual world for children, and it also shows us different everyday situations, not only the fun ones, yet also the sad and painful ones. Lost and Found was an ok book, but I really liked the net speak here, so yeah.

Like any Madison Finn, this book is an extremely easy read. but it's original and very seventh-grade too.
