Philip Hall Likes Me, I Reckon Maybe

MY DAUGHTER READ THIS BOOK AND LOVED IT. GREAT CHOICE FOR A GOOD READ.

I just recently read this book after reading the positive reviews. I really enjoyed it and wish I had read it when I was about 11 and lived for cute guys' approval. The main character goes after her goals even though that means competing against the boy she has a huge crush on. I love that she stays true to herself. She earns respect from others. I think this would be a great book for any preteen.

Beth Lambert is a lot like me, and I wish that she was here so that she could be my best friend. I mean she's so much fun to be with, and sometimes I don't like Philip Hall at all. This book was the most fun book I have ever read. I wrote Bette Greene a letter on her website bettegreene.com and she wrote me back. I showed the letter to my classs.

After reading this I found this book was to be classified under "CAN'T PUT DOWN" catagory.This book is a personal favorite of mine.Bette Green deffenitly has a talent for writting juvinile books.The way she places every verb,ajective and noun is amazing,for you feel that you are standing presicilly next to Beth,her friends,Phill and his friends.I will now end my review with one of my favorite paragraphs: 'Ester followed me out on the porch,where there was a rock the size of a crow's nest and sticking to this rock was a sheet of wide-lined paper.I pulled off the paper,which had been stuck on with a wad of gum, and read aloud: 'Dear Pretty Pennies, You ain't pretty! You ain't pennies! And you ain't never going to beat us neither! President Phillip Hall Bravest of all the brave Tiger Hunters and Lt. Gorden Jennings(also Brave) P.S Why wait for the church picnic to relay race? Meet us at the schoolyard on Saturday and we'll win!'

My daugher is six, and although she can read, I found this to be an excellent book to read to her. Beth Lambert is the perfect heroine -- heroic because she finds herself in curious situations and then thinks her way out of them. Love the attention to "chores" and the deft interpersonal gender issues. Just a wonderfully written book. My daughter looks forward to it; we're sorry that the last chapter is coming up tonight....
