Reviewed by Rusty Key Writer: Becca WorthingtonRecommended for: Girls age 10 and up. One Word Summary: Charming This is an entirely wholesome and heartfelt book that perfectly captures the joy, awkwardness, delight and heartbreak (and for adult readers, the nostalgia) of fifth grade. Lauren Myracle has a powerful way of fully immersing herself in Winnie’s world. As the primary theme, the pain and loss of growing apart from your best friend is fully and honestly explored, and the book is a remark...
This book is really good. it tells you what its like to be an 11 year old. Winnie is is having a hard time with sociallife, but then she meets Diana, but she the newest and weirdest girl in her class, but then she realizes that they have a lot in common.
This book is the voice of any tween girl. Winnie is like any other girl - she's growing up, she has family, friends, enemies, and crushes. Most importantly, she has Amanda, her BFF who is pretty, sweet, and popular. As sixth grade approaches, she finds Amanda being taken away by a rich and snooty girl, Gail. While trying to cope over the loose of Amanda, she befriend DInah, and clumsy, not so popular girl who is looking for a friend. You'll watch over the months as Winnie grows and changes as a
Title(s): Eleven, Twelve and ThirteenRating: A+Review: I decided to review all of these books together because, well, I read them all together. I read the first one on a whim, a decision to develop myself "professionally" (because I dream that, when I'm finished with my MLS program, that I'll be a kick-butt YA and children's services librarian in a public library who will help reluctant readers find the book that will help them turn the corner and develop a lifelong love of reading). I read plen...

I apsoloutley luv this series
We listened to the audiobook in the car. I don't know if it's because we listened to the audiobook, but I thought this was horrible. Most of the characters were extremely unlikeable. The narrator sounded like a 6 year old instead of an 11 year old. The men's voices made them all sound like idiots. We had to stop listening because it put us all in bad moods. My 9 year old actually got nervous while reading this that this is what she'll have to look forward to. It would've been much better if ther...
I LOVE this book!!!!!!!!!!!! Lauren Myracle did a great job opening The Winnie Years series, even though I am not eleven it would probably be easily relate able to an eleven year old. You should definitely get your hands on this book if you haven't yet read it.
this whole series is good. the author does a really good job making the story realistic to an eleven year olds life
This book gives a good message that growing up is hard. I liked the first book in this series more than this one: there were mulitple things and characters I disliked. Winnie's sister had her worst moments, and I hated whom she chose as her boyfriend. I was disgusted by the behavior of Alex Plotkin, and I hated how selfish Toby and his brother had been when Winnie was trying to ask Toby out. Most of all, I hated that sweet Amanda was being forced to hang out with demanding Gail, leaving poor Win...
This was a good read. I miss Amanda and Winnie as besties. Dinah is a very good and nice friend.
