Time's Up

this was a great book.I loved it. meave is kinda annoying.bit i still like her.

I liked this one more than Ghost Town. The only character that bugs me in this one is maeve. she kind of betrayed Katani, when she could have asked her mother or father to help her. I didnt like how Katani was totally secretive in this one. Charlotte was definitely my favorite character in this one. I love her!

When Katani reads about a contest for young entrepreneurs, sponsored by T-Biz! magazine, she knows that she has a good chance of pulling together a prize-winning entry. Since she has been dreaming of running her own fashion design and advice business for ages, she's already full of ideas, and it only takes a few moments before she's hit on the idea of knitting scarves to sell. Ms. Pink, the owner of the Think Pink! boutique, even offers to sell Katani's scarves for the breast cancer fundraiser she'll be holding in a week. Katani's sure she can knit the twenty scarves, take care of the paperwork, and get together her business plan by Saturday, when her contest entry is due. Even though Katani tries to keep the contest a secret, so she can surprise everyone when she wins, she can't help but let word slip to a few people, and, of course, she has to tell her best friends, the Beacon Street Girls. Soon, it turns out that several other people are entering the contest, and fellow BSG Maeve has even signed up for tutoring lessons from one of Katani's rivals! What's worse is that Katani has a book report and a math project both due on top of the contest. Can she really get it all done in time, all on her own? I've only read a few of the BEACON STREET GIRLS books, and this one threw me off a bit by not being narrated in the first person. Still, I found it as endearing as the others, and true to the characters. We also have a nice little side plot with BSG Charlotte finally going on a date/not-date with Nick Montoya, a chapter definitely worth reading for any BSG fan. Reviewed by: Allison Fraclose
