"Nobody was coming to save her".
Amy is suddenly dizzy, and her fever is high. Where have her superior skills got to? And why is no one coming to save her?

Normal people would be concerned, but Nancy, Eric and Tasha are more than worried. They are terrified, terrified because Amy can't get sick, but now she is.

I enjoyed this book because Amy isn't so "perfect" in it. The best of the series!

Awesome book!!!
Amy mysteriously comes down with a fever, and she starts to lose her abilities. As she gets weaker and weaker, she suddenly falls into a coma. The strange thing is, Amy can never get sick. At least, not in the way everyone thinks... This was an exciting book, very mysterious, with some sad parts. I liked how Kaye described the visions Amy was seeing when she was in her coma. For a while, it doesn't look as though Amy will end up alive or dead!! But it has a happy ending. I loved this book. It was one of the best in the whole series!!

A grrrrrrrreat book!
This is a great book in the series.So great I can't put down. Amy,the "perfect" clone gets a fever.what is this all about? Is it the new club in town which might be giving kids drugs?Or maybe something is affecting her in a way or another?

I love this book
This book is one of my three favorite books(the other two being the vanishing and the return) and I'm sure it took a lot of imagination to think of something with such creativity. Marilyn Kaye has made many great books but this triligy is one of the best. I don't usually read sci-fi books but this one caught my eye. See I had already read the first book( the vanishing0 and I was very interested in reading the next two, so I got on the phone and called every book store within 15 miles. I drove 20 miles to get this book and trust me it was worth it. these books are really great.

MARILYN KAYE, YOUR A GODDESS!!!!!!!!!!
Last on Earth: The Convergence is the BEST book in the trilogy series! Book 1 took some time to get into but once you did you couldn't wait to see what happened next. I COULDN'T PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!! I LOVED IT SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! The characters are warm and heartfelt, the story is beautifully written, and the topic is so interesting!! What would happen if i were one of 25 students left on earth? Each character has thier own way of dealing with it. And Marilyn Kaye put equal work and depth into EVERY one of them. No joke. Any person can relate to thier own character, that's the beauty part! I loved it!! This book deserves WAAAAYYY more than 5 stars. How bout 6? or 10? This is one of the most emotional, deepest, heartfelt, adventurous, touching, uplifting, and downright most BEAUTIFUL books I've ever read in my life!!!!! BUY THIS ONE NOW! IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, ILL PERSONALLY GIVE YOU YOUR MONEY BACK! I guarantee this book will make you either laugh, cry, smile, or all three. I did all three. I loved it so much!! Thank you so so so much Ms. Kaye! Your a treasure! It's great to realize that some adults out there truly know and understand what it's like to be a teen in the 90's. It's not easy. A THOUSAND HUGS AND KISSES AND THANKS TO MISS MARILYN KAYE! YOUR THE BEST!!!

I don't ussually read Sci-Fi books, but when I found this...
I loved this book so much I decided to puchase a brand new set of the books, then I put them under glass and locked them in a safe place so future generations could enjoy. This book was so real I felt my heart pounding when they first emerged from the high school. It was as if it was dream come true! Stores open for the taking. Anything you want is yours, high tech computers, cd's, radios, movies, hotels!!!!!!!! everything you couldn't have before you could have now. And there was people to enjoy it with. No Parents,NoTeachers, No authority figures. I loved this book. This book is not for just sci-fi loving "trek-ies" but for everybody. Grown-ups, little kids and especially teens. YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Real Tooth Fairy
It's about the toothfairy,and a little girl who sees the toothfairy and thinks it's her mom.But she has a fight with her friend about the toothfairy.The fight was about the girl's friend lost a tooth and thought it was his dad. Her mom tells her about the fairy.So the girl tells her friends about the fairy.Then she tricks the toothfairy.I liked it because when I was little my mom would read it to me when I had a lose tooth.I loved reading it.It's the best book I've ever read,because it's kind of easy for staters.I recmmend this book to all the libaries in the world.

The Perfect Answer
This book provides a clever answer to the tooth fairy question. I am a kindergarten teacher and this book is a superb read aloud! It invites the reader to use expressive voices, making the book a fun experience for the listeners. I bought the book because my daughter's name is Elise, but was delighted with its content! This is an absolute must-have!

My daughter (8 years old) and I love this book!
This book is a great book for children who have doubts about the existence of the "tooth fairy" or believe their parents are the "tooth fairy".

It's hard to find sweet yet unpredictable books.
Three girls - Cat, Josie, and Becka - are thirteen years old and the oldest orphans at their orphanage. Though they sometimes dream about it, each knows inside that they have very little chance of being adopted. Suddenly, they have an opportunity when a family named Morgan wants to adopt an older girl. Each spends several days at the family's house, and each has different opinions - but all of them want a chance at being adopted. Whom will the Morgans pick? Will the three competitive friends be separated for the first time?

My Feelings
This book was one of the best books I've ever read. It's not that often you come across a book that tells so much about how orphans feel and act. I'm in middle school and I feel I can really connect with some of the characters even with an age difference. I recomend this book to you with 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!

Excellent book- as I recall.
I read this book years ago, and it stands out in my mind as being one of the best I ever read. In a world of Sweet Valley High and R. L. Stine, there should be more books like this on the market to tip the scales. Two thumbs up.

This book was a little too chilling for me!
Amy Candler thinks she is a normal twelve-year-old girl. But she doesn't know much about her past. And overnight, she can do awesome things such as see and hear from long distances, tumble and twist like a top gymnast, and throw a basketball like Micheal Jordan. But her mother is acting weird. And someone is taking photos of her. And she has a crescent moon-shaped birthmark on her back that was definetely not there yesterday. And someone is sending her notes. Amy is slowly discovering who she really is, but she'd better hurry, or something might...happen. I reccomdend this book to anyone who is interested in people stories and science fiction. Although if you're not a R. L. Stine fan or something, this book may be slightly chilling for you. I had to read ahead in order to go to sleep! It is still a great book that really makes you think, could this really happen? What would the results be? I reccomend this one to about 3-6 graders, probably, because it's sort of hard to keep track of characters and things that go on, but it's not really a reading level for a 7 grader, at least not in my opinion.

We are all different.Or are we?
Replica,The new series by Marilyn Kaye...

Amy Candler has always thought she was normal.A normal 12 year-old girl.And she was - Untill recentenly...
Practically overnight she can see,hear,run,jump,basically do Anything better than her friends...
She's perfect,litterally........
Then one night she sees someone outside taking a pictures of her...
Someone is leaving threatening notes for her...
Amy Knows the weird Cresent shaped Birthmark wasn't there before...
Her Mother has been acting all weird lately...
Amy has to figure out why is she perfect and who is after her before its too late.....

I loved this book!When I finished it I just sat there for a minute and I was like,WoW!Then I picked it up and read it again -Its that good!I think this is a great series for anyone!Its science fiction but its not stupid stories about aliens,which a lot of young girls don't like,but instead theese books tell the story of an ordinary girl and how she find out that We're all different.Or are we?

If you want to get hooked on a series this is the one
Amy Candler thinks she's a normal 12 year old girl who's in seventh grade but she starts to posess special talents. She's smarter than everyone and can figure out complex math problems in her head. She also can run faster and jump higher than Eric her best friend's ninth grade brother. Plus she can do olympic twists and turns in her gymnastic's class and do a triple toe loop on the ice even though she's never ice skater before. Amy's definetly not normal. She's perfect. Amy goes to find out that's she's a clone from project cresent moon that Nancy Candler ( her mom) worked at 12 years ago to create 12 other "Amy's" for a supiriour race.But after they created the 13 "amy's" they burned down the whole project and sent the other " amy's" away. They did this because a orgaization wanted the " amy" clones for evil. But Amy better watch out because the orgaization knows she's out there and still wants her for evil.

This is a great book to get the series started. If your like me once you read this book you'll want to read them all!

--Amy has a big decision to make as her best friend Tasha knows something is wrong with her. Amy has recently discovered that she is one of thirteen clones made by a project which was prematurely terminated due to the funding orginization's evil determinations. This news has somewhat shocked her so Amy has to decide whether to tell her best friend her big secret. If she does, Amy has to risk Tasha possibly telling the orginization, which is still looking for her, her identity. --Though not as good as the first book, this is one of the better books in the Replica series. --Marisa

Great Series!!
I couldn't wait to read this after I read the first book in this series, "Amy, Number Seven" and I was no disappointed! This series is about a twelve-year-old girl named Amy who finds out that her mother isn't really her mother and that she is a clone that was genetically enginered in a laboratoy. A must read for anyone who read the first one or for anyone looking for a great book, but you have to read the first book first! I highly recommend it!

Really good!
I looove the Replica books! This one, the second in its series, is just as good as all of the others that I've read. Amy, a clone, can't tell anyone what she is. This book clears up some mysteries from her past. Be sure to read the rest of the Replica books! (I've read 1-10, and all of them are great!)

Could Marilyn Kaye have done a better job? I think not!
WOW! This book was totally suspensful and magical. It was a bit violent, but it made it all the more better. I liked how M.K. did the bit on how everyone except Eric thought Amy did it. And the true person was not really suspected. This book was way better than I thought it would be and it is worth the money!

It's a turn on the whole series!
This book is soooo good! Amy gets accused of putting Jeanine Bryant into the hospital with a coma. Is Amy innocent? Or did she really do it? Who DID do it, if it wasn't Amy? There was no one else around...was there? The ending changes a lot in the series, so you don't want to miss this book!

OMG!
In the tenth book in the Replica series Janine, Amys worst enemy, finds out that she is a clone and then after Janine mysteriously falls down the steps, everyone thinks Amy pushed her! Great addition to the series! A Must Read! Sorry so short!

And the two shall meet.
This is a great book, I've read it many times. Amy heads off to wilderness camp with Tasha and Eric, ready for a week full of sports. She gets a little more then sports. She meets a mysterious guy who she feels drawn to. Then when dangerous things start to happen, Amy finds out more then she wants to know about her leader Dallas. A must read for any Replica fan.

Amy meets a boy clone!
This is the 6th book in the amazing Replica series. In this book, Amy goes on a wilderness adventure for a couple weeks with her best friend Tasha and her boyfriend Eric. While there, Amy meet Andy, and sees that he has the same cresant moon birthmark on his shoulder blade that she has, meaning that he is a clone! Sparks fly and to conclude, great book! The first were we see Andy and certainly not the last! A must read for any YA book or Replica fan. Highly Recommended!

I love the Romance in this book!!
When I read this book, I felt like I was Amy! Amy met a boy named Andy at Camp Wilderness Adventure that she felt a bond with. One day, Eric catches a glance of Amy and Andy kissing! She wants to explain that Andy is a clone like her and that they are going to have some kind of relationship, but he won't listen. Amy soon finds out that the organization that wants to make a master race with Amy and Andy is out for her again, so they ran away. Trying to hitch-hike, they run into Mr. Devon, a mysterious man who keeps turning up when Amy is in bad situations. Andy says he's evil, but Amy doesn't know what to think. Soon after, Mr. Devon is murdered. All signs point to Andy, and Amy doesn't even know if Andy is really on her side. Read this book to find out what happens. This special edition is reaalllyyyy good!!

It Is a More Mature Book
The fifth book of Amy series is finally mature. In this story,students in twelve-year-old Amy's school,Parkside middle school,were disappearing one by one without reasons.Amy tries hard to get into a school popular clique,which is a strange behavior to everyone-she never belonged to any clique,or wanted to,at the very least,not this kind of clique. This one,with a leader name Melissa Mitchel,who had just recovered from a car accident after months in the hospital to receive treatments and operations,had become extremely creepy and exclusive-something more than "cool".
The thing that makes this book diffenrent from all the others before is that for the first time,the danger had not come directly to Amy herself,and she had to use her extraordinary power to protect her schoolmates and friends against people other than the organization that chased after her forever like an old hunting dog. I think Amy was extremely glad to get rid of those organization people for a while(Me too! It's tiring to think about the organization all the time.).
Eric in this book was more active,and had shown his bright side,and he no long gave people an impression that he was sort of stupid and made people wonder why he could be the boyfriend of such a smart girl. And Tash,as Amy's best friend,was acting pretty good too,though she was so mad at Amy's behavior,she still didn't lose faith in her friend.
It is one of my favorite books in the Amy series. Suppose it won't let you down!
Hope this review is helpful to you!

Fun and enjoyable to read
Amy Candler is no ordinary twelve-year-old, she is in fact a clone and shares her appearance and ability with eleven other identical "Amys".

Parkside Middle School is ruled by several elite 'cliques'. Melissa, a member of the coolest 'clique', has recently returned to school after a car crash and now strange things are happening to the people the clique don't like. People are disappearing... and know Amy's boyfriend Eric is being stalked. Amy must infiltrate the clique and discover exactly what is going on before she, Tasha and Eric are the ones disappearing...

This was the first book in the Replica series that I've read so far and I can't wait to read more. Secret Clique isn't especially challenging for older readers - it's just an easy, fun, enjoyable book that is complete in itself without requiring the reader to have previous knowledge of "Replica". You don't have to have read the earlier books in the series to enjoy this book. Definitely recommended to all young adult readers!

Another great Replica
Amy Chander is no regular girl. In fact, she is a clone and her powers are shared with eleven other identical clones just like her. So when students start disappearing from Parkside Middle School and other mysterious things happens, such as her boyfriend Eric being stocked, Amy decides to check things out. Through her investigation Amy begins to suspect Melissa, a girl who had just come back from the hospital after a bad car accident, who is also the top leader of the popular clique at school. To find out to truth Amy decides to get into the clique...however it causes bad feelings between her and her best friend Tasha. Can Amy repair her friendship and figure out whats happening at school before something else strange happens? Another great replica book! I recommed everybody to read it!

It's not quite paradise!
Amy's set for a fun day with her new boyfriend, Chris, after he sends her a mysterious note, inviting her to meet him for a "mystery cruise." But she's in for the shock of her life. Because it's not Chris that sent her the note, but the Organization, which has suddenly turned up again in her life. She arrives on a beautiful tropical island, and comes face to face with the other Amys. They've all been brought here against their will - including Aly, the defective clone, whom the organization mistook for Number Three, the clone who died in a tragic accident at the hospital in New York so long ago. The organization has brought the Amys here to compete in a series of competitions against the twelve Andys. Amy has to get all the clones to work together if they all want to make it off the island alive. Many familiar characters are back in this book, some new ones are introduced as well, and there are many startling revelations that are made. This was one of the best books in the series, and all Replica fans should read it.

Trapped in paradise.
Amy has been lured onto a tropical paradise by the organization, and not because they want to give her a vacation. But Amy's not the only person they managed to trick into coming, in fact, she's not even the only Amy. All of the Amy's that are still alive are there, including Aly. Aly is not perfect, far from it actually, but the organization doesn't know that. In order to keep her alive Amy is going to have to find a way to get her off of the island. But the organization isn't going to make it easy for her, they have decided to have a contest between the Amys and their male counterparts, the Andys. Most of the clones are taken in by this Survivor-like game and Amy is going to have to figure out how to get everyone to safety, whether they like it or not. The third special edition of the series is definitely going on my favorites list. We get answers to a few questions, get some more questions without answers, and get to see a few old faces. Definitely a must read for fans.

One of the best Replica's so far...
If you're not familiar with the series, I'll start by explaining the basics. Amy is a clone, genetically engineered to be human perfection. But there is an organization out there who wants to use the clones to create a master race to take over the world. In this book, the organization tricks all the clones into coming onto an island paradise to play a "Survivor" type game to see which clone is the most perfect. Both the Amy's and Andy's are on the island and nobody is there by choice. Also, it confirms that the incident in the hospital in #4 really happened. But because #3 died in the hospital, they unintentionally tricked Aly, the reject clone, into coming instead. So now, not only does Amy have to figure out what's up and why the organization went to all this trouble, but she has to keep Aly out of trouble so that no one (even some of the clones such as Annie and #5) find out that she isn't like the rest of them. This is a really good Replica, probably my favorite so far. It'll keep you on your toes from page 1 all the way to the last sentence. I definetly recommend it.
