The Addams Family is so different but yet so popular in today's society. It's refreshing to see an odd set of charactars gain such respect and I think they deserve it. The book displays their usage of witty sarcasm perfectly. The new Addams charactars of an evil-scheming nanny named Debbie is so fun to hate and the new born baby Pubert fits in wonderfully with his family of misfits. This book is an overall pleaser!

It was a good book. This is one of the better books by Todd Strasser. Somewhat realistic... I'd read it again.

We're reading this book in school and it's one of the best books I've ever read! Lauren and Tara face the problems that a normal girl my age faces everyday. The DWDWDM (Don't You Wish You Were Me)girls are like other people we know and you get the picture! Todd Strasser visited my school last week and he is now my favorite writer!

HI, to all the people that have not read this book it is the time to do it!I read a chapter, and then put it down, then I had to pick it back up and read it! I think that Todd should make another book about the main character, Culca. He should make it about her life and about things that happen to her as she goes on with her life. I would go out and get it the day it came out. People may think it is a kids book but,I think anyone could read it if they wanted to read it.I am 10 yr. I love big 300 page books like that for adults. But this book is for anyone to read. I think Culca was so brave for what she did and how far she went to get her brother.I love all the Todd Strasser books! I love the book Help I'm Trapped In My Camp Counselors Body. It is in way two diff. worlds from the book The Diving Bell. I also can't get over how she said she would dive instead of her brother. How when she was climbing up the rope it's like I felt her pain too!So I would get the book the day it came out if he made another one ! Well hope I encouraged you to read this book!

This book is about three boys named Kyle,Dusty and Wilson who attend a school called Hard Marks Middle School.Kyle, Dusty and Wilson are three best friends who find out that there is a book called "The Kissing Book" in the girls' locker room. They want one of their friends, Melody to go into the girls locker room and get the locker number and the locker combination. One afternoon, the three boys go into the girls' locker room, they find the right locker, unlock the locker and go through the book to find out what is in the book. Ricky Cheech was the student that had the master key to the girls' locker room and opened to locker, took the kissing book and wrote good things about himself in the kissing book. Anyway, I'm not going to give you that much information about the book. Read the book for yourself!

This book was very good. You got the real feel of the Christmas spirit. Well written and fun to read. A little more dramatic than some of Strasser's other books, but still very good! The perfect holiday book for people of all ages!

Gary is an 17-year old boy who wants to become a rock and roll singer. He has some friends as his Bass player, the keyboard player, and the drums. Gary and his other members never got a record deal. But when Gary actually got a record deal they were so excited. They made thier own record deal right away. They went to this club where a lot of people sing. After they went there this guy offered Gary a real job.Then Gary and his other members finally made it into showbiz. Do I or do I not agree with the author?( What he did with the story)Well I would say yes I agree with him. Why? Because I like the way he wrote the story. Todd Strasser makes it sound so true. It does sound like most teenagers I have heard of. I keep hearing that some teenagers drop out just to become singers especially rock and roll singers. But this group of teenagers did not drop out of school. They stayed in school and they managed to be organized. Most rock and roll singers flunk school because they could not keep up with thier work. But these teens worked just fine. They kept up with everything and managed to do what they neede to do. Gary set up a scheduleof when to do what, when, why, and where. Would I or would I not recommend this book to someone,and to who?Yes I would because I really like this book. I would recommend it to Annie because she likes this kind of book. I f I told her the whole story she would like it. But I would never tell the end of the story because it will spoil everything. I would say Annie you will have to read this book because. This story is about a 17- year old boy who wants to make a rock and roll band. With his three other friends, and one day he goes to this clubwhere the Zoomies sang. That is a group name. Gary's group name was " GARY AND THE COMING ATTRACTIONS PLUS OSCAR". It is a very famous club. They never got a record deal. But when they go to this club. This business man comes up to them, and asks them if they want to get a real record deal. Gary says yes and they finally become a rock and roll singers. But I would not tell the part where they get a record deal or not, and if they made it into showbiz or not. Because I know she will want to know everything about this story. She does not like me if I just leave her hanging there.

I have read all of them but this is probably the best one. It's another story with Kit Rand as the narrator. This time, the Rands have just got back to their home, Soundview Manor, from Italy! In town, a lady named Cocci Nelliday (pronounced "Coke-y")has been accussed of being a WITCH! They say that she saved a family by levitating them over a speeding truck. And yes, there were MANY witnesses. And now, they are all wondering, is Heavenly, the Rand's nanny, who was brought up by Cocci, a witch, too? Reporters are following Heavenly and the Rands everywhere! They are so afraid of losing Heavenly that they might even have to reveal Heavenly's secret to big-mouth Samara... and even their Mom and Dad! Their piano teacher, Wes Shackelford, is in LOVE with Heavenly and would do ANYTHING for her. So, of course he would rescue her. And Roy is back in Kit's life, confusing everything even more, if possible. This new Heavenly story was very thrilling and kept me on my toes through the whole book! It has a very exciting but happy ending! EVERYONE SHOULD READ IT!!! It's a very great book! HERE COMES TODD STRASSER WITH THE BEST HEAVENLY BOOK EVER!

I liked this book because it was very thrilling and romantic. It told a lot about how lifeguarding is like and how complicated ones life can be. So if you have a complicated life or if you are torn between two guys this is the book for you.
