Gossip Times Three- Great Book

Gossip Times Three is an awesome book. It is by Amy Goldman Koss. It is about the life and the drama of three best friends, Abby, Bess, And Cristy. Abby has had a crush on this boy named Zack for a very long time. She always talks endlessly about him, and how he talked to her or glanced at her. She even carved his name in her drawer. But all of a sudden Bess blurts out right in the the middle of Abby's story about Zack, "Zack's cute." and Abby's immidiate reasponce is "Duh-uh." and continues her story. Later though, Bess also suddlenly comments "Zack has a goofy smile." This gives Abby a horrible feeling inside. Before you know it, Bess and Zack are boyfriend and girlfriend. This story continues with single mom troubles and of course, the Zack dilemma. It ends with a surprise. Any teenage girl should read this. It is a perfect story for middle school friendships and hardships. Although it can be confusing at times, it is a very enjoyable book.

Gossip Times Three By: Sarah Hadaway

I enjoyed reading this book. At times it was hard to understand because it would say well Bess did this and Abby said that but no she doesn't mean that. You would sometimes have to read a paragraph over and over until you finally got understood what it meant. If you missed one part in this book, then you would have no idea to what is happening in the next part. Paying attention to what is going on is very important. But it is a really good book to me; I liked how the author made it sound like she was actually talking to the reader. It made it seem like she was at some times actually talking to me. I do recommend this book to mostly girls who are in [...] trough 8th. It was also very entertaining.

Wow!

Mrs. Koss came to my school, Cranbrook/Kingswood Middle School, and I really liked her. She read part of the book aloud to us and I LOVED it! Her daughter and friends are the characters in the story.
