Amanda, the Cut Up

I think that this is a WONDERFUL book. It had a few low points but once I got into it I loved it. Amanda is a newdent at a new school. She has to make friends and shows off by doing magic tricks. Everyone loves when she pulls silk roses from Jessica's sleeve but when she loses Jessica's ring from her grandmother it's not so much fun and games anymore. Amanda cant help getting in trouble and the teacher thinks she's just a showoff and a clown. How can Amanda gain Jessica's trust and friendship and have everyone like her again including the teach. I thought this was a great book. I liked it and it showed that it's not all fun fun fun and play play play as a kid. It really brings out the stronger points of childhood. It is one of those things that if it happened to you you would NEVER forget. I loved the book and I think that you should read it too.
