The 11th Book in The Fabulous Five Series

When 13-year-old Jana Morgan overhears a rumor about her boyfriend (Randy Kirwan) and another girl (Laura McCall), she can't help but believe it's true, especially after she catches them together at a local hangout, Bumpers. Randy tries to convince her there's nothing going on, but Jana runs away before he can finish--and almost gets hit by a speeding car. Randy quickly saves her by pushing her out of the way, but by doing so, he is hit by the car instead.The two teens are then rushed to the hospital where Randy remains in a coma and Jana recovers from a concussion and a few minor bruises. During her short stay, Jana befriends a young girl (Lisa "the brat" Pratt) who has also been in a car accident. Lisa is enough of a distraction for Jana to forget her own problems; yet Jana still worries Randy may die before she has a chance to make up with him.As best as I can remember, this was one of my favorite Fab Five books among the handful that I did read. It's a little soapy now that I look back on it, but other young girls (around 9-12) will probably like it as much as I did.

By far, my favorite

I remember this book about ten years ago when it was first published. I was really into the Fabulous Five then, even though I was almost 16! It was my guilty pleasure and I wish Ms. Haynes continued the series. She inspired me to make up my own stories and I am still writing to this day. The Fabulous Five, in my opinion, was always better than the BSC and this particular selection is by far the best.

I LOVED IT!

This and "Breaking Up" are the best books in the Fab Five series. Jana is furious when she thinks her b/f, Randy Kirwan, is cheating on her and liking Laura McCall, who just happens to be Jana's worst enemy. In her anger, Jana runs away from Randy and on to the middle of the street. Randy, who is still *in love* with Jana, pushes her out of the way and is hit himself, and goes into a coma. Jana gets out with a few bumps and bruises but it looks like Randy might never wake up! Is it too late for Jana to say she's sorry? I loved this book, as another reviewer said, they are the ultimate couple and I'm glad they last through the whole year. If you're going to read a Fab Five book, I suggest this one. It made me cry! is there any way to reach Betsy Haynes and ask her to write a series about the Fab Five and Friends in 8th? I thought she was supposed to write one called "Fab 5 Forever" but it doesn't seem to exist.

The Fab 5 is the best series ever.

This is one of the best in the series, Why is it out of print, we need to get Betsy Haynes writing more. Jana and Randy are the ultimate couple.....and one day I hope to find my own Randy Kirwan!

I LOVED IT

IT IS THE BEST ONE OUT OF THE SERIES SO FAR.WHY IS IT OUT OF PRINT.SHE SHOULD WRITE MORE I LOVED THEM.
