3.0 out of 5 stars Thinya Review, September 3, 2003
By 
This review is from: Born to Be Bad (Paperback)
The book was about two girls named Mikey Elsinger and Margalo Epps. They are new to Washington Street Elementary School. It is fifth grade and their teacher, Mrs. Chemsky is very strict and organized everyone's seat in alphabetical order. So soon Mike and Margalo get to know each other and become friends. They both have the same initials---ME. Though they are both very different, they have one thing in common-- they are really bad! The book starts quite strong but at first the characters were confusing and I got muddled up because of their very similar names (Mikey Elsinger and Margalo Epps). But it is because of their names that the two girls become friends. There didn't seem to be much of story line that ran through out the book except their rivalry with a classmate, Louis Casseli. The book had a few different story lines e.g. making friends, electing the class president and the whole class turning against Mikey and Margalo.There didn't seem to be any significant ending except that both M+M finally accept their relationship and have sleepovers at each other's houses. Besides, there book was written to be funny, but not laugh-out-loud funny, and was written in 9 chapters of around 30 pages each.
