My name is Elizabeth D., and I read the book, The Luckiest Girl, by Beverly Cleary.
 
Shelly gets a chance to go to California for a whole school year. She goes and is very nervous about starting at a new school. She meets a girl named Jeannie and becomes close friends with her. She has her eye on the star basketball player, Phil. She tells a school newspaper reporter that she likes a basketball player who sits near her in biology. Turns out, he likes her too. They start going out, but when Phil fails biology his dad says he isn't allowed to see Shelly. Will Shelly ever be able to date Philip again? Read the book to find out.

This book, The Luckiest Girl, is a book about Shelly, a sixteen year old girl who lives in Oregon.  Shelly gets to spend her winter in sunny California . Everyone wants to be her friend and admires her cheery spirit . Shelly learns a lot in this adventure but the hardest part is having to face all of the sad good-byes.

On a scale from one to ten (ten being the highest) I would rate this book 9 1/2. I recommend it to people who like suspense.  I think this is one of my favorite books.
