Summary: very 80's
Comment: I think this book is very unreal. I am 13 (the same age as the main character). Everything in this book would never happen. Even how the two main characters (jen and liv) talk. This book was published in 2000, but it seems like a flashback to the 80's. Or the author tried to capture what teens are like today, but instead reflected on her own 80's youth. I couldn't relate to this book at all. The two main charaters are stuck up and I don't like those kind of people in real life so why would I read about them? This was one of the most unreal books I have ever read.

Summary: "Hello? It's Jenna from Fire Hill school. Anyone home?"
Comment: Those are the first words that started a new friendship.
Jenna and her long time best friend,Liv, are working on a project for one of their classes. What they must do is go to a senior citizens house and read to them. Liv, one of the most popular girls in their school, isn't thrilled about this project, and wants to have it over with. Because of her snobby ways, thinking she is better then everyone. For example Liv is very rude to a girl in their science class because she is different. She humiliates this girl in front of the entire class but they all turn against Liv. This hoydenish girl instructs for Jenna to get back at her with a devilish prank that Jenna doesn't approve of.
When Jenna and Miss Caples met, she didn't talk to Jenna for about a week. But when she finally did talk to Jenna they found that they totally relate to each other. Jenna tells Miss Caples of all her problems with Liv, and how Liv and her are not as good of friends anymore because of the involvement of the prank she doesn't want to participate in.
This prank to me is about the crueliest I have ever heard. To me, Liv has a sick mind.You find in this book that "history is repeating itself". Why you ask? That is the same question I asked myself when I looked at the front cover.Don't judge this book by the cover, I almost did and I am sure glade I finished it. I would have been making a BIG mistake! I reccomend this book for teen girls and their mothers. You can relate to this book no matter what age.

When Jenna's dad moves our and her best friend Liv get in a fight Miss Caples and Jenna start to see eye-to-eye on things. Miss Caples knows something about Jenna that Jenna doesn't know about.
