My review of this book: I thought this book was really good. It shows how some choices of friends aren\'t the right one. This book shows some bad choices but turns them around and the people then make better choices. One part was that Reagan thought her neighbor was kinda weird because all she did was go by what God said. Reagan soon finds out that followinf God is a good thing. This was the major theme in this book, make the choice to pollow God. To me, this book had great meaning and it was a great story. I really enjoyed the book for the reasons above and many, many more.

My review of this book: I thought that this book was a very well written book. It has many things that teenagers can relate too through out life. In this volume, it shows how to deal with stress with school, sports and parents. It also shows how friendships can be ruined over one guy. A main thing in this book was Hope. If you hope and wish for something, it is more likely to happen then thinking it is not going to happen. Christy Miller volume 2, is packed with a bunch of details and small stories. That is why I loved Christy Miller volume 2.
