Review # 1 was written on 2012-11-06 00:00:00 Sandra Wechsler This is the fifth book in a series, though this and the fourth book didn't have too much to do with the first three books. The first three - 'Fourth Grade Wizards', 'Nothing's Fair in the Fifth Grade', and 'Sixth Grade Can Really Kill You', were set in elementary school, but the last two books focused on Elsie Edwards. Elsie made her first appearance in 'Nothing's Fair in the Fifth Grade' and was in the next book, though with a considerably smaller role. Here, she's seventeen and no longer fat after losing weight in the fifth grade. But she still has plenty of insecurities (as shown in the fourth book) and this book is geared for older readers, but still rather good if you read the rest of this series.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-08-31 00:00:00 Laurie Cobler For those of you who thought Twilight was the only book featuring a love triangle that takes place in Forks, Washington (sort of). Seriously, I read half of this loosely connected series when I was the original age of the protagonist (ten) and never quite caught up to the ones when she's a former fat kid. I guess I had less in common with older Elise's 'problems.' It's really tough choosing between two really hot guys, one who showers you with presents but constantly lectures you for your lack of common sense and the earthy, understanding one you share an almost telepathic emotional connection to...(Hmm...that also sounds strangely familiar...maybe Barthe DeClements should consider suing).
