具体描述
From Publishers Weekly Vail (Ever After) returns to familiar territory， chronicling the trials and triumphs of adolescence in this first in a trio of novels that examines the pleasures and pitfalls of junior-high friendships. Each book is narrated by a different girl， thereby offering readers insights into each character's personality and motivations. Here， seventh-grader Zoe Grandon learns that friendships involve contradictions: sharing confidences can result in betrayals， personal triumphs can elicit jealousy and being different can engender suspicion. Clearly different from her friends， Zoe cares little about what she wears， plays sports with the boys and feels large and clumsy compared to graceful CJ， a ballerina， and tough Morgan， a sophisticate when it comes to boys. Vail's perceptive portrayals of Zoe's stumbling attempts to win CJ as her best friend and to capture the affections of one of her pals， Tommy ("I refuse to go boy-crazy like my sisters， just because Tommy has deep dimples")， are simultaneously poignant and humorous?and sometimes painful. In between Zoe's growing awareness that she can survive life's pitfalls， Vail weaves in details about Zoe's home situation， showing that appearances rarely comprise the whole picture (e.g.， the happy exterior of the Grandon clan hides Zoe's worries about the angry relationship between her rebellious sister and their father). Bravo to Vail for painting a true， intimate portrait (enhanced by the small， keep-it-with-you trim size) of what life is like for a seventh grader: a heartbreaking and glorious rollercoaster ride. Ages 9-13. (July) FYI: The other two novels are narrated by Zoe's friends: CJ's Please， Please， Please， also releases in July， and the other， from Morgan's point of view， Not That I Care， is scheduled for a November release.Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information， Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From School Library Journal Grade 5-7-At the start of seventh grade， Zoe has lots of worries. Will boys like her even though she's not stereotypically feminine? Will girls think she's worth having as a best friend? Zoe has a crush on her pal Tommy， but so does her ballerina friend CJ. What to do? After Tommy reveals his interest in Zoe， she impulsively tells him to ask CJ out with the hope of winning her undying friendship. By the end of the story， Tommy does approach CJ while Zoe is having second thoughts about her decision to give him up. Readers are left hanging， but a sneak preview of the sequel is given. Nothing profound happens here， but that's just the point-these small dramas are earth-shattering to seventh graders. As in her other books， the author excels in depicting adolescent preoccupations and confusions. The dialogue is funny and the rapidly changing friendships and fickle alliances are authentically portrayed. The book's small size will attract preteens. A light confection that will be gobbled up.Jacqueline Rose， Lake Oswego Public Library， ORCopyright 1998 Reed Business Information， Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

说实话，我一开始只是抱着随便翻翻的心态开始阅读的，没想到这本书竟然有着如此惊人的叙事力量。作者对于人物心理活动的捕捉非常精准，无论是细微的表情变化还是深层次的动机剖析，都让人拍案叫绝。故事情节的发展出乎意料，每一次看似平淡的对话背后都可能隐藏着巨大的信息量，需要读者全神贯注地去解读。我尤其欣赏作者那种不动声色地推动情节的能力，没有刻意的煽情，却能自然而然地触动人心最柔软的地方。阅读过程中，我常常会停下来，回味某一句精妙的台词，它们像是散落的珍珠，串联起了整个故事的意境。这是一部需要细细品味的佳作，每一次重读都会有新的发现和感悟，展现了作者深厚的文学功底。
评分这本小说简直是一场情感的过山车，作者的笔触细腻得令人心疼。故事的开端就将我牢牢吸引住，主角们在那个充满未知和挑战的环境中摸索前行，他们的每一次选择都牵动着我的心弦。特别是关于信任和背叛的描写，处理得非常到位，既有撕心裂肺的痛苦，又不失人性光辉的闪现。我特别喜欢作者对于环境氛围的营造，那种淡淡的忧郁和坚韧并存的感觉，让人沉浸其中，仿佛自己也身处于那个世界，呼吸着同样的空气。角色的内心挣扎被刻画得入木三分，我能清晰地感受到他们内心的矛盾与成长。这本书的节奏把握得极好，高潮迭起，让人欲罢不能，读完后久久不能平复心情，需要时间去消化那些复杂的情感和深刻的思考。
评分这本书最让我印象深刻的是它那种独特的、略带疏离感的观察视角。作者似乎站在一个更高的维度，冷静地审视着人物的命运沉浮，但笔触中又流露出对他们命运的深切关怀。语言风格上，它不是那种华丽辞藻堆砌的作品，而是以一种近乎散文诗般的简洁和力量，直击核心。很多段落的描述，看似轻描淡写，实则蕴含着千言万语，需要用心去体会那种“言有尽而意无穷”的美感。我特别喜欢那些充满象征意义的场景和物品，它们不仅是情节的道具，更是角色内心世界的投射。读完后，我感觉自己的审美情趣都被提升了一个档次，那种被高品质文学滋养的感觉，是其他作品难以替代的。
评分这是一部真正意义上的“慢热”型小说，需要一点耐心来适应其独特的韵律。初读时可能会觉得节奏稍缓，但一旦适应了作者设定的那个缓慢、沉浸的氛围，就会发现所有的铺垫都是为了最终爆发的震撼力。角色的成长弧线处理得非常自然和真实，没有突兀的转折，每一步的转变都有着坚实的内在逻辑支撑。特别值得一提的是，书中关于友谊（或者更广义的人际关系）的探讨，超越了简单的表层互动，触及到了灵魂深处的共鸣与隔阂。这种探讨的深度，让这本书具备了经久不衰的价值。它不是那种读完就忘的消遣之作，而是会像老朋友一样，时不时地在你脑海中浮现，引发你对生活、对情感更深层次的思索。
评分这本书的结构设计简直是教科书级别的范本。作者巧妙地运用了多重叙事视角，让读者得以从不同的侧面观察事件的全貌，这种布局极大地增强了故事的立体感和复杂性。随着情节的层层推进，真相像剥洋葱一样被一点点揭开，那种豁然开朗的惊喜感是阅读过程中最美妙的体验之一。虽然故事背景设定在一个相对封闭或特定的社群中，但其中探讨的主题却是极其普世和深刻的——关于归属感、自我认知以及人与人之间无形的联系。我欣赏作者没有简单地给出答案，而是留下了足够的空间让读者去思考和构建自己的理解。整本书读下来，感觉像经历了一场酣畅淋漓的智力与情感的双重洗礼，非常过瘾。
