The book that I recently finished is called The Kind of Friends We Used to Be by Frances O'roark Dowell. This book is about these two friends, Kate and Marylin that used to be best friends but slowly grew apart from each other. They both want to be friends again, but don't know how. While they are trying to fix their relationship, they are just becoming more unalike every second. Kate wants to learn guitar and wear big black combat boots while Marylin wants to make sure she looks her finest and wants to make sure her cheerleader friends still like her. But when they both discover new people their view of things change a bit. I have been meaning to read this book forever, but I never got the chance too. I didn't really like this book as much as I thought I would because it didn't really have a huge climax and I didn't really like how it was narrated in third person narration. I was a little confused on what their background story to their friendship was because I made a mistake by reading the second book in the series without reading the first book. This book is realistic fiction because it could happen and come true, but it hasn't actually happened yet. I would recommend this book to younger girls, about age ten. I think this because this book wasn't that challenging. I recommend this book to girls only because the first book in the series is called The Secret Language of Girls. I am pretty sure that no boys would be interested in that book nor the sequel to it. One example of an external conflict is man vs society because Kate doesn't think she fits in with anyone just because no one else in the grade wants to learn guitar and has big black combat boots like she does. One example of an internal conflict is man vs self because when Marylin doesn't know if she should run for school government just because of Mazie, her friend (also known as the meanest cheerleader alive) intimidating her.

I think I would love to check out this book!! I give it 5 stars!!!

I LOVE THE SERIES im reading the fall of the templar now but im also reading the clockwork chronicals ive been reading them for a month and a half and there great i would recommend this bookk to other people that like sci-fi and adventure:)

Like the other books in the Seven Wonders series, I found it hard to stop reading this cool, action-packed book. I recommend this book and all the others in the series to anyone who likes fiction action-adventure books with lots of cliffhangers, mythical creatures and gods, zombies and evil organizations, and more.

This is a really good book continuing the Seven Wonders series. In the newest story, the Select are trying to get the loculi from the statue of Zeus, but will they have to fight the god instead.

Interesting.

this book is awesome! its about these smart twins and how theyre father is an inventor. The twins get kidnapped so that their father could give one of the inventions to the kidnappers. the twins have to figure out a way to escape. i love books like this one because it has some mystery/ action/ pure awesomeness in the book. i recommend this book to anyone.

I read this book and it was very good. I enjoyed reading it though it was a little disappointing that there weren't characters from the Mark of the Dragonfly. I hope that there will be a third book sometime soon.

Might be a new favorite to replace my Harry Potter addiction!
