Wow, this book is not how I remembered it... I've read this book once before when I was younger and thought it was marvelous! The girl dressed up as a guy to be educated, yayy!! But now I know how very droll this book is. It's a girl author attempting to write about guys. Sometimes, the book is g...

Or did you just walk in? Very well... Once upon a time there were eight sisters who would all one day be eight years old. At the same time. You know: octuplets. Their names were Annie, Durinda, Georgia, Jackie, Marcia, Petal,...
We'd stopped answering the phone and turned off the machine shortly after Mommy and Daddy's disappearance because we didn't like always answering calls from telemarketers, but we'd since turned the machine back on because Annie had said it was irresponsible not to. What if someone had an emergenc...
"I'll put the kibble out," Jackie offered, "while Durinda shows Mr. Pete the fridge." Pete had brought his toolbox with him, and we watched in the kitchen as he gently pulled Carl the talking refrigerator away from the wall so he could see what was going on with Carl's backside. ...

"Don't be ridiculous," Mrs. Simms said. "What kind of hostess would I be? Besides, it's probably against the...
We ignored Zinnia. "I know what this means," Annie said. We all waited. And waited. "Well," Georgia finally said, "do you think you'd like to share your knowledge with us?" "It simply means," Annie said, "that Rebecca hasn't ...

If the sky falls and it rains for forty days and forty nights, not only will we be orphans, we'll be drowned orphans, dead with the sky crushing our heads!" "Oh no—" Sound like anyone yo...
Rivera said.I’d been using the sheet of paper with the pictures of Jimmy Choos on it that I’d copied out of Hillary’s computer as a bookmark and Rivera was studying the lovely lines of the Asha as it peeked out from the top of the latest Chick Lit book I was reading, Still Life with Stiletto, by ...
