All About Andy
VERY VERY VERY VERY GOOD BOOK~we learn all about Andy (duh!) I can't say too much because it will give the book away, but I recommend it to anyone who is going to continue reading Replica. You wouldn't feel complete if you don't. :)

An exciting new book from the Replica series.
Andy knows that he's one of twelve genetically enhanced clones just like him. He knows he was adopted, but he has no memories of his mother. His father claims his mother died, but his father lied about a lot of things. Andy remembers Mr. Devon kidnapping him when he was a small child -- but what were his motives? Now he and Chris have set out to discover what the Organization is up to, and in the process Andy hopes to discover his origins and Mr. Devon's true motives. This was a great book because we finally discovered the truth about Andy, his parents, Mr. Devon, and more. Any Replica fan should definitely read this book.

This book was terrific!
This book was really good. The girls in cabin 6 hear that their counselor, Carolyn broke up with her boyfriend, Teddy. Cabin 6 is going to play cupid and bring them back together again!
They pretend their window is stuck with ran pouring in. They leave a note on the handyman's door so Teddy can come. He'll see Carolyn and fall in love again. One problem-Vince, the other handyman got the note instead. Plan 1 failed. Plan 2 failed too. Erin was meeting her boyfriend in the woods. They weren't supposed to go in the woods! Trina tells Carolyn and Katie tells Teddy. Carolyn and Teddy come scolding at them, but they turn away and don't even look at each other! All the plans didn't work! One plan they send flower to Carolyn saying from someone who loves you. Cabin 6 sent them pretending they were from Teddy, but Vince said he got them for her! Cabin 6 tells Carolyn that Teddy could have sent them and Vince was lying, but Carolyn said, "You got them for me!" They nodded. "Teddy and I broke up and that's it." The next plan was ready for action!
Sarah and Megan told Maura (Maura was mean and always spreads news around) that Carolyn goes out with Vince overnight. "They aren't aloud to at night!" Mara shouted. "Well, Carolyn thinks it's important to be with Vince." That was a lie! Carolyn hated Vince. When they heard that Teddy hung around with Maura's counselor, Joan, they were going to tell Carolyn to make her jealous. Teddy would hear about Carolyn going out with Vince and he'd get jealous. The news spreads around very, very fast.
Sarah and Megan see Teddy to see if he heard the news. He did. They asked if Vince was round. "Why, is he a better handyman than me?" Teddy said. "No," Megan said. "He gives us the creeps!" Sarah added. Soon Vince walked in saying he was fired. Carolyn was fired too! The news got them fired.
They go to Ms. Winkle. They tell her all about how the news was a fake. They find out Vince said it was real to get Carolyn back for saying she didn't want to go out with him. He was going to quit, anyway. Carolyn stays and Vince goes!
On Visitor's Day all the parents come. Trina's mom and Sarah's dad starts talking. Hey! Sarah doesn't have a mom and Trina's mom's divorced. They looked like a family with Sarah's dad and Sarah, Trina's mom and Trina. And maybe with just a little help...

CABIN 6 CAN DO IT, RIGHT?
It's summer and 5 girls are in bunk 6. They're at Camp Sunnyside and they're all friends. Their consuler broke up with her boyfriend and they are trying to get them back together. Both of them seem to miss each other. Cabin 6 can do this, right?

I didn't want to put the great book down. This book is very good. You should get CABIN 6 PLAYS CUPID, by: Marilyn Kaye.

Great book for teachers!!
I have used this book many times with different classes. It really gets children to think about what it would actually be like if there was no math. This is a perfect book for all those students who wonder where in the world are they ever going to use math.

The best children's math book!
I'm going into ninth grade. I was required to read this book in 2nd grade, and it still makes an impact on me. Imagine a day without math!!! We couldn't survive without numbers. How would we tell time, eat breakfast, go to work, or even relax? Everything in our society revolves around numbers. Try reading this if you hate math, and you will be surprised at how much math you really know.......I know I was.

Everything Explained
If you read the other Replica books, you will know that there are a lot of secrets behind Project Cresent. In this 23 book everything is explained. If you did not read the previous books, you might want to read the first book first. If you don't and go ahead and read this one, there is no point in reading the previous books. Anyways, Amy keeps seeing arcticles in tabloids that talk about an island where a master race is being created. Amy starts to beleive this. Andy does too. Later on, Amy gets an e-mail saying to come meet some other
Andys and Amys. Once they arrive they find out they are on a journey to the island where they have some brother and sister clones being held captive. That begins in Return of the Perfect Girls. They find themselves in a mess. They struggle to fight for dominance. More mistaken identities, misplaced loyalties, and betrayals. This book sort of has the same idea as The Beggining. Well, I loathe reading. Although, when my friend recomended Replica i couldnt stop. I read everywhere! So, my point is...........if you havent already, bring Replica into your life!! Read WAR OF THE CLONES now!!

good book in the series

Lights. Camera . . . Action!
Tyler Ratcliff,
Deborah Lewis,
Jade Barrow,
Zack Stevenson,
and
Kris Hogan

They're students at Atlanta, Georgia's Greenwood High --- and the cast of the hottest new show on cable TV... Video High!

Modern Love
***********
When Greenwood High's principal announces that their school has received funding for a student-run cable TV show, junior Sharon Delaney is thrilled. Jess Russell, the hip new English teacher and the show's advisor, says they can discuss any subject they feel is important . . . everything from the environment to personal relationships. It's the chance of a lifetime!

But Sharon's ideas for debating the issue of dating in the 1990s causes an uproar in the school and in her own budding romance with fellow classmate and cast member Tyler Ratcliff. Tensions build and finally explode in an on-the-air first show Sharon---and Greenwood High---will never forget!

Excerpt
*******

"Tyler will open the show with a brief description of what Video High is all about," Jeff Russell, the group's advisor, said. "Then he'll introduce Sharon. Sharon, by the way, have you had any responses to your survey?"

"Not yet," Sharon replied. "But I've got a good idea of what kind of answers I'll be getting. Kids are having sex. Some use condoms, some don't. I don't think they take it very seriously."

"Take what seriously?" Tyler asked. "Condoms or sex?"

"Both"

Zack broke in. "I don't think Sharon should talk about this survey on television."

"Why not?" Debra asked. "I thought we decided . . . "

"It'll make Greenwood look bad," Zack declared. "There are some subjects that shouldn't be talked about in public."

"Excuse me, Zack," Jeff said. "We've already decided on this topic for the first show. And I think the majority of us agree it's an important one. Now, Kris, do you have anything to report?"

"I've got my questions for the homecoming queen candidates all planned," Kris said.

"Fine," Jeff said. "Be sure to tell all four candidates we'll be taping at 2:00."

"I will," Kris replied. "But right now there are only three. Paula Skinner isn't a candidate anymore."

For the first time at that meeting, Jade spoke. "Why?"

Kris saw no reason not to tell the truth. "Paula Skinner's pregnant."

Extremely witty and well-written for a childrens' book!
Since seeing it when it first came out, I have had a special connection to the little mermaid, Disney-style...maybe it's because we both are Pisces at heart...I don;t know. Anyway, from reading this, you'd never know it had anything to do with Disney...and that's a good thing!! And let me just say...rather than being an evil sea-witch, Ursula should have been a fashion designer for mer-people! Don;t know what I'm talking about? Read the book (or at least look at the cover)!--"Seeker of a Harold Hill-type, yes I want to be deceived."

From A to Z
The sisters have plans for a weekend of fun and frivolity, but those dreams are quickly dashed when Sebastian has them in rehearsal for the Under The Sea Musical Gala, which is in two weeks. Owing to the tight schedule, there will be no free time, as it will be taken up with the rehearsals. Needless to say, there is great chafing between the sisters and tempers flare. Sebastian gets an invitation to the Dixieland Waters Jazz Festival, as is directed to go by King Triton. Aquata is ordered to lead the rehearsals, but she'd rather rehearse for a play instead, a play she wrote. However, Triton put the kibosh on that, wanting emphasis on the musical, so the sisters do double duty, learning both the music in the morning and the play at night. The double-duty schedule has them both tired and snappish, as now both artistic creations are suffering from the split efforts. Just when they are about to give up, Ariel hits on a plan to combine both the musical and the play as one. The book makes fun of itself, when the "Seven Sisters" all have names that start with "Z" and are not much different in character than the sisters themselves. Valuable lessons in working together and keeping an open mind come into play here, as well as the humor.

Replica
This is the fourth book in the Replica series, which is about Amy Candler discovering that she is a clone with superhuman powers..and there are eleven others just like her, more identical then identical twins. The books can be read on their own, but it's better to read them in order as you gradually find out about the mystery of Amy's past. In this book Amy goes to New York to compete in the finals of an essay competition. But after she faints and ends up in hospital, she discovers there may be another reason she's in New York.. What I like about these book is all sorts of clues are put it, and they all end up tying in with the mystery at the end but not in the way you expected. I didn't like the ending of this book, though. I hope she does find out it was real or the book is pretty pointless.

The BEST book ever!
This was the 1st book I'd read from the Replica series, and I LOVED it!! In the story, Amy and her archenemy, Jeanine Bryant, are BOTH finalists in an essay competition and travel to New York for the final competition. Coincidence? I think not. Because when Amy falls to the floor unconscious and wakes up in a hospital full of other Amy clones, she knows something strange is going on. It turns out that 'The Organization' has brought them all to this very hospital so they can experiment and do tests on them!! Some of the Amys want to go along with the organization because their evil doctor has been filling their heads with lies about how 'they are the future of humanity' and 'the world needs more perfect people' and stuff like that. And it's all up to Amy to stop them from being brainwashed!!! I won't spoil the ending, though. Overall, this has got to be THE best book in the series. I loved it with a passion!!

Perfect Girls, perfect book!
Marilin Kaye has done it again! In this replica book, Amy Candler, a 12 year old clone who's perfect, becomes a finalist in an essay contest in Ney York City. But little does Amy know when she is poisoned, and meets the other clones that were made, was this a dream or reality? You decide! Marilin Kaye combines science fiction with every day life and creates a thrilling and suspensefull series of books! In my opinion, read them all!
