More About the Author

My 76th juvenile novel, THE DEARLY DEPARTED (ISBN#9781590923818) was published in April, 2007, and my three-book Christmas series called The Santa Diaries will be out this fall. I also write for young adults and am busy revising a YA novel for my agent. I have written historical novels, mysteries, supernatural/ghost stories and humor. Lots of humor. I have authored four book series: TAFFY SINCLAIR (Bantam Skylark), its spin-off series, THE FABULOUS FIVE (Bantam Skylark), BOYTALK (Random House Bullseye) and BONE CHILLERS (HarperPaperback). The BONE CHILLERS became an ABC Saturday Morning TV series in 1996. In Hollywood, I took part in the filming of public service announcements shown at the end of each episode. What a blast!

My humorous novel, THE GREAT MOM SWAP, became an ABC Saturday Night Movie in 1995. When I'm not writing, I'm teaching "Writing the Middle-Grade Novel" and "Writing the Young Adult Novel" online for UCLA Extension.

This review is from: The Bragging War (The Fabulous Five #5) (Paperback)

Beth Barry is furious that everyone is awed by snooty Laura McCall's bragging. And no one's paying any attention to the Fab Five, not even their old friends from Mark Twain! So she decides that whatever Laura brags about next, she's going to top. Only all her plans backfire and instead of great, the Fab Five is starting to become laughingstocks, especially Beth. But Beth still hasn't learned her lesson and she pulls the biggest brag of all- only it's TOTALLY not true! And if she can't pull it off, the Fab Five is DONE FOR. Who will the Great Bragging War?? Find out in this book!

This was not one of my favorite books in this series, but it was still good!! I can feel for the Fabulous Five when all their old friends start deserting them for the Fantastic Foursome, though I think Beth got too upset. I thought it was true to life how Beth's lies all just started coming out too fast and how accidently she kept putting her friends on the spot. I recommend this whole series to girls out there- so they are not exactly like the girls in BSC, not every girl is the same.
