Seventh-Grade Rumors

Seventh-graders Katie Shannon, Beth Barry, Christie Winchell, Jana Morgan and Melanie Edwards are about as different as any friends can be. But they have one common goal: beating their snobby, sneaky classmate Taffy Sinclair at her own tricks. With that in mind, they banded together in elementary school, calling themselves The Against Taffy Sinclair Club. But at the start of junior high, the five friends have renamed themselves The Fabulous Five, as they encounter four snotty girls from another elementary school who call themselves The Fantastic Foursome. Each of the girls battles the typical junior high issues, ranging from unfair parents, bratty siblings, baffling boy behavior and school rumors. But as long as they've got one another, The Fabulous Five is sure they can get through anything that comes their way...

I read this series when I was younger, it was by far my favorite! Like other people have said in reviewing different Fab Five books this is also the first series of books that I read willingly and really got me into reading. My favorite authors today are Maeve Binchy and Nicholas Sparks. I never liked the BSC series, they didn't spark my interrest the same as this series did. Too bad that these books are not in print, I only bought a few of them as a child and I would love for my little girl to read these someday!
