Jerry Spinelli
4 Stars - This book is better than most.

She wishes to be reunited with Leo but they live in different states. She has troubles and adventures a long the way. :)
Review: I really liked this book. I think that the best parts about this book are when she is in the fire, it was suspenseful. Also, I liked the part when they see the movie and pretend to be scared and run out. My last favorite part about the book is, well, I can't tell you or it will spoil the ending!!! I think that a lot of girls in fourth and fifth grade would love this book. But boys might be like, "EEEEWWWW this is a romance!!"
