Cassie is a great book for all girls because it gives examples about a 13 year old girl's life. The stuff that happens to Cassie could happen to anyone. She has good and bad times.

A nice book!

This book was great! It's about a girl named Cassie who is sort of the "popular" one in school. She knows pretty much everyone. She has two younger sisters and one older sister. One day her best friend, Barbie, calls her and tells her someone new is moving in. In one of the mansions, which costs about 2 million dollars! When she goes to school she sees the girl, Dana, who moved in. And she's rich. She wears elegant clothes and looks mature for her age. Soon Dana and Cassie meet and begin being friends. And since she's rich, Cassie seems to always want to hang out with her and sort of forget her friends. But Cassie doesn't know Dana's true personality and what things she does! And now her best friend is against her for being with Dana most of the time. I won't say anymore. Just a brief summary! It's a great book! you should read it!

A Very Interesting Book

Cassie is such a funny book. It teaches kids to be greatful of what they have, and not what others have. Cassie is selfish, and thinks her parents want to torture her by not buying the latest clothes. When Cassie meets Dana, a very rich neighbor, she feels even worse. But, Dana wants to be friends. Cassie couldn't wish for anything better. But when Dana betrays Cassie, she needs help from the people she let down. Does Cassie's life go back to normal? Or does she need to fix the problems she started? Read Cassie, and find out! Vic B.

Very Good Book

This is an excellent book that was not only entertaining, but can teach teenages that money is not everything, and to be happy with what they have. Cassie learns this very valuable lesson in a unique way. Marilyn Kaye is an excellent writer. I have read this book many times, and can never put it down!
