This book is wonderfully written, engaging and mysterious! There are multiple mysteries to be solved, not the least of which, the mystery of growing up. With distinct characters and Buddy's confidence that things will work out, the pages kept turning, with me rooting for them all.

I read this book when I was 8, and I saw it on my shelf just a few weeks ago, and I remembered how good it was! The story is very powerful. I couldn't understand it fully at that age, but now I fully understand the hardships this girl had to go through. Kids young and old will enjoy this book... it's got a happy ending!

I recently recomended this book to my 6th grade sister...she thought that it was amazing. A few years ago I read this book...back before I did book reviews on everything in sight I would tell people how much I like the book. This story kept me talking for months!

The reason I like this story so much is because it is deep, but appropriate for children. So many issues are discussed here: family mysteries, trust, alchohalism, love, aging grandparents, choices, school, home, etc. I barely even got to the heart of this lovely tale. It is funny, sad and suspensful. The relationship between brother and sister is memorable, as is the relationships between the grandparent and children/grandchildren.

I reccomend that you read it, reccomend it to others, and if you are a teacher...this makes a good reading assignment for kids(hint hint).
The cover doesn't say enough, the title doesn't say enough...this book is amazing and not at all sad. It is quiet and serious at times...but it isn't a depressing book and you will like the ending a lot.

The story line of Buddy Is A Stupid Name for a Girl was great, but at some points it got very boring. Though, I never wanted to put it down with all the suspense. This book might not be enjoyable for most young adults, but more for elementary kids.

This book is really good! It's about a girl named Amy-Kate(that likes to be called Buddy)and how she has to live with her aunt for a while because her dad went on a busisness trip and never came back. Her grandpa is blind and has a disease where he can't remember things. One dayhe gets lost and Buddy has a search party to try and find him. Buddys mom died and her aunt thinks that she stole a bunch of money. But she didn't. You'll have to read the book to find out where the money really went!
