One 6th grader picked it up, started reading it, started laughing, and proceeded to read the dialog out loud and showed the pages to the other girls (that first scene in the morning, Maggie with her father and then her older brothers). She took it home with her that day. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, too. ^_^ I received an advance copy of Friends with Boys and shared it with my middle school Lunch Time Book Club – that time, it was all girls.

I had sort of relegated her to "authors I read as a child but they're dead or stopped writing or something" when to my UTTER DELIGHT she started a series called Alien Agent. They are some of the most popular chapter books at my library and teachers and kids alike love them - they're funny, with some deeper themes, but great on different levels for different kids. And I've preordered Friends with boys for my library and myself (-:) OOOh, I love Pamela Service – I read and loved her books as a youngish teen.
