Beth = Bigmouth?

Beth Barry is furious that everyone is awed by snooty Laura McCall's bragging. And no one's paying any attention to the Fab Five, not even their old friends from Mark Twain! So she decides that whatever Laura brags about next, she's going to top. Only all her plans backfire and instead of great, the Fab Five is starting to become laughingstocks, especially Beth. But Beth still hasn't learned her lesson and she pulls the biggest brag of all- only it's TOTALLY not true! And if she can't pull it off, the Fab Five is DONE FOR. Who will the Great Bragging War?? Find out in this book!

Another good book in this series

This was not one of my favorite books in this series, but it was still good!! I can feel for the Fabulous Five when all their old friends start deserting them for the Fantastic Foursome, though I think Beth got too upset. I thought it was true to life how Beth's lies all just started coming out too fast and how accidently she kept putting her friends on the spot. I recommend this whole series to girls out there- so they are not exactly like the girls in BSC, not every girl is the same.
