A good book for girls

Nola James and Marnie Fizpatrick have been best friends since kindergarten. This year was going to be different. They were going to be in high school. And now they have learned that in high school you're either IN or OUT. Marnie is outgoing and bold. Nola is quiet and shy. They are very different. Marnie goes to the spa, while Nola goes to the library. Marnie makes some new friends that are the most popular kids in the freshman class. Nola makes friends with the quieter, smarter, and weirder people. Then Marnie starts to leave Nola for Lizette Levin, the head of the group. Lizette does not like Nola and tries to keep Marnie away from her. She keeps bailing out on Nola. Nola gets really upset and wonders if she really knows Marnie as well as she thought she did. Is Marnie In, Is Nola Out? I recommend this book to girls that enjoy reading conflict stories and school stories

In or Out

In or Out by CLaudia Gabel is a heart grabbing book, which involves real problems between teenaged girls. Girls talk behind each others back, sabotage each other, and ruin each other friendships,(and it's not right at all in my opinoin.) 5-star book for it's realistic format, and heart-touching words. Any person who enjoyed The Clique series or Gossip Girl series will definetly enjoy In or Out. Lets just say that Nola and Marnie have a big journey full of surprise ahead of them. Two girls entering high school with a promise thinkin high school won't destroy it. Both girls fall for different guys, but only one befriends the populars. This book is a big journey for these two silly girls who are awaiting the moment they become women. This book is full of adventure and surprise.

I Can totally Relate 2 This Book!

I totally loved this book. I'm an only in sixth grade but this is already happening to me. My best friend, Gabby, is Marnie and I am stuck like Nola. Lizette is my enemy, Sara. Nola James and Marnie Fitzpatrick have been best friends since forever; almost like sisters. But it's freshman year and that's all about to change. The girls were praying to be put in the same homeroom or have at least one class togethere but that didn't happen. Marnie was the cool girl and it was really effortless for her to make friends. Nola, on the other hand, was a klutz and always found some way to embarrass herself. Well, when Nola is put into homeroom with Lizette Levin, the coolest girl in school, she accidentally steps on her foot which sends her straight to the "OUT CROWD." Marnie, however, rides on her older sister's coattails straight to the "IN CROWD." Could one girl (Lizette) tear apart the best friendship both of them have ever known? She has done a good jop with that so far, but what will happen in the next book of the In or Out series, "Loves Me, Loves Me Not"?

you know where you are? you're in the jungle baby! er, i mean high school...

this is a hilarious novel about those crazy first months of high school, when you're a scared freshman and don't know what the hell is going on. we get to watch two best friends navigate that tricky time together and see how their friendship suddenly falls apart when they find themselves chasing after different things. and once they end up on opposite sides, look out! the gloves totally come off... i can't wait to read the rest of the books in this series - claudia gabel brings the fun, the embarassment, the humor and, most of all, brings the pain in this novel about everything that makes high school so exciting/mortifying/memorable! this is seriously hot stuff (and smart too!). i just wish i was as cool as this sawyer kid (you've gotta read the book to know what im talking about!). anyway, pick up this book! i promise you that you're gonna be hooked...
