Fantastic
"Feeling Sorry for Celia" is a funny, honest and all-around great book that I'd reccomend to anyone in Junior High/High School. The entire story is told through letters and memos. The book centers around Elizabeth Clarry, a fifteen-year-old girl in High School. Like most high-schoolers, her life isn't exactly a picnic. Her parents are divorced and are both constantly trying to spend more time ...

Haunting and funny
Moriarty is one of the few writers out there who are GENUINELY writing for teens, not for precocious twelve year olds. The kids drink and cut school and so forth. But not BINDY MACKENZIE, who is (she thinks) perfect. Top marks etc., odd hair, debate captain, maths queen, prig, prude, and pain. Just as you're beginning to wish that someone really WOULD murder her, her incredibly annoying ...

Enchanting, challenging, and thoroughly unique
I doubt I can praise this novel highly enough.

This is much more adult than Jaclyn Moriarty's previous works but includes the same cleverness and (sometimes painfully) true-to-life emotions that made Celia such a ...

Excellent as Chick-Lit, Bad as YA
I picked this book up on a whim at a bookstore, attracted mostly by the cover and the description, and I am so glad I did. This was probably the most enjoyable new book I've read in months; maybe years. I laughed out loud frequently, and just "had" to show my husband some of the funniest parts. I highly recommend this volume to women with a taste for magical realism and a quirky sense of humor. ...

Well..um WOW !!!!!!!!
This book really touches you in so many ways. It has humor but half-believable humor, which keeps you laughing for ages afterwards. Such a great plot, what with all the different types of people writing letters to one another. There is a quiet kind of Romance and as you read the letters you begin to feel the excitement which the characters feel. But as well as the excitement, you also feel the ...

The Year of the Secret Assignments

Emily and Lydia are used to talking with boys, but ...
