Mary Anne comes out of her shell...

This is book number eight in the series. In this installment, Mary Anne, Cokie, and some other people are on the yearbook commitee at school. The school nominated categories are being updated this year- so in addition to all the categories like best dressed and most likely to succeed, they have other categories like Most Artistic and Most Likely to Be Seen in Hollywood. Cokie, unfortunately, sabotages the votes so that she and her friends will get all the categories to themselves. Mary Anne and Abby figure this out, though, and go to the vice-principal to get a recount.Cokie, furious (as always), spreads a rumor around the school that Mary Anne begged Logan to take her back, sending him e-mail messages and hundreds of messages on his answering machines. Logan, reportedly, had said 'no, there is another girl, and I don't like you any more'. This isn't true, and Mary Anne and the BSC get Cary Retlin to help them think up a way to pay her back just in time for the huge party that Cokie's throwing. Mary Anne's dad grounds Mary Anne just before the party, so Mary Anne sneaks out and arrives there, where she tells the truth to Cokie once and for all- that Cokie's a brat that no one likes and that even though she thinks that telling lies about other people will make her seem cool, they don't. Mary Anne finally gets over her nightmares, and learns that her dad had recently been experiencing the same flashbacks to the night of the fire.A good book, and a lot more serious and realistic than the original BSC series.

Yo Go Girl!

May I mention this is the best of the BSCFF books so far! Cokie was finally cut down to her real self , a insecure SNOB, by Mary Anne!Not only she did that, she and her dad finally aired out some issues that have been there for along time. Such as her father being overproctective, her stepmother's feeling of being left out, and the nightmares of the fire. Mary Anne also displayed her own struggle of overcoming her shyness ( with some help from Abby and the club, and support from Logan)and standing up to Cokie, in front of whole school! She became the same reliable ,caring, but improved Mary Anne.

This is just ONE great book of NINE!

This book was definitly great. I love the fact that Mary Anne has changed and will now stand up for herself, instead of waiting for her friends to stick up for her. I mean, if she were to get in a big fight with her friends like back in book 4 of the original BSC, what would she have done?...Until now! Now, Mary Anne will stand up to the meanest girl, or person, in all of SMS. I think that Ms. Martin has done a great job changing Mary Anne's personality. She hasn't changed her too much, but she hasn't changed her for the worst, either. I love how she has made Mary Anne deal with her break-up with Logan. It definitly seems real, especially for a sensitive person like Mary Anne. I went through a similar situation last year, and I know how hard it is to see your ex with another girl, especially when you are still good friends. I'm definitly gonna keep getting this series! Keep up the good work, Ann! =)

What a girl Mary Anne is! She's great!

Wow! Mary Anne sure has a lot of courage! She's been through a terrific struggle this year...still having horrible nightmares about the house fire ( & waking up in tears), slowly mending her broken heart over Logan, & most of all facing her many fears with a steely determination that is rare in human beings. Cokie's still tormenting Mary Anne & reducing her to tears. I love how she gets up her courage to stand up to that mean Cokie Mason & put her in her place(not to mention going against her dad's wishes, but for a good cause). I also loved how her friends stood by her & stood up to Cokie too & exposed Cokie's dishonesty in the yearbook contest! I think it's great that Mary Anne's active in the yearbook & even though she's a little scared of Cokie, she doesn't let Cokie cow her out of the yearbook. Way to go, Mary Anne!

good job mary anne

I LOVE THIS BOOK ! I love how Mary Anne stands up for herself in this book and I like the "new" Mary Anne she doesn't jump into a fight but she doesn't cry she stand up for herself I liked the Logan-Mary Anne-couple but it was the best for them both but if Logan can't treat her right as a girlfriend I hope they can be friends and I hope Mary Anne finds the right guy soon! I love the BSC friends forever series it's more realistic and I hope to see more soon! by the way Mary Anne is my favorit charaster! *KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK*
