The Alfred G. Graebner Memorial High School Handbook of Rule

An EXCELLENT book! I give it 5 stars! A++++++! =-) I was skimming the book shelf of my teachers class looking for a book to read for my next test and I came accross this book. It looked like a good book and it was. I loved it so much that I kept the book and reread it 5 times! ~Fran

Read it over and over again

I wish I had the foresight to buy more of Ellen Conford's books from the late 70s, early 80s. I reread this book probably once a year, because it still is very funny and speaks to all the fears and dreams a teenage girl has. I always loved Ellen Conford, because she wrote about normal kids who did their homework, didn't do drugs and had both good and bad teachers in their classes. Julie is a great heroine because she's pretty normal, and therefore you can relate to her, her crushes, her family, her friends and her insecurities. As always, the moral is that you, as a teenaged female, are just great the way you are. Another plus for Ms. Conford.

Very Entertaining novel set up in interesting format.

A very funny look at high school life thru the eyes of a cool girl. The way it is set up is there are 10 or 12 sections or quotes taken from the High School Rule Book. Then, they tell the story that corresponds with rule section. This format fits the story very well, and is very inventive from a writer's standpoint. It is a cool look at high school life. The girl wants to be a writer, and tries to get something published in the school journal. The only problem is its by a die hard cynic who doesn't like her. Its an endearing story. In a way, it is like several ministories tied into one, the character going thru her high school career. The ending is well conceived, and has real meaning. Be yourself. Excellent book! Also recommended: No Flying in the House. Classic Faerie Tale story.

An Ultimate Classic

I am only 13, but I really do belive this book is one of the best. I read it last year, and I hadn't seen it at my school library since. I found it acouple days ago and I have read it twice already. If you read only one book this week, month, year, or lifetime, make it this one.

Funny, original

I agree with the last two reviewers.I read this book (from the library) a number of times when I was in Junior High School (20 years ago - ouch!), and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have only sort of vague memories of it (the main character 'joins' different religions based on religious holidays to get her out of gym class - who has ever heard of Zoroastrianism?) but remember laughing out loud.
