5.0 out of 5 stars a favorite, December 17, 2004
This review is from: Hot and Cold Summer (Paperback)
I first read this book at the age of 11. I still love it. It never fails to crack me up, and have me laughing so hard, my husband thinks I'm losing my mind! I will always keep this book in my collection, and I will pass it on to my daughter, and hopefully it will be one of her favorite books. It a fun read, and it's a fun story, and ever since, I have wanted to have snowball fights in the middle of summer with vanilla ice cream!

This review is from: The Hot & Cold Summer (Hardcover)
I like this book from the first page.It is about two bosom buddies,Rory and Derek.They will never do things separately.No matter what happens,they will stick together.That's what I like to have-someone around my age who has the same interests and hobbies like me.But when their neighbour's great niece,Bolivia,comes to their neighbourhood,Rory and Derek swore not to talk to her and also to ignore her.Rory hates Bolivia from first sight but slowly,Derek begins to like her.Then,something that never happened to Derek and Rory happened-a quarrel.Derek decides to go to camp and Rory tries to avoid Derek and Bolivia.Rory slowly learns to like and adore Bolivia.They do a lot of things that Rory has never done like making snowballs with icecream.There are a lot of comical parts which will make you laugh like hell.I won't tell you the whole story.But I bet you will enjoy this book and make it your favourite book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hot and Cold Summer, October 31, 2001
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Hot and Cold Summer (Paperback)
I like this book. My favorite character is Bolivia, a girl who lives with her relatives because her parents are in Turkey. The reason I like Bolivia is because she is funny. For example, she dumped her drink all over Rory! (Derek and Rory are friends but do not like Bolivia.) I also like Bolivia's talking parrot named "Lucette". I like it when Lucette chases Rory all over the house. I also like their friendship. An especially good part was when Rory and Derek (They have know become friends with Bolivia) have a contest to see who can eat the most pizza! They tie 5 pieces each. At the end they have a surprise party for Bolivia because she is leaving. They all get tee-shirts that say "Bolivia More Than Another Country" It's a great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars From the back of the book . . . ., October 21, 2007
By 
LemonspredBooks (Manvel, TX, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Rory and Derek are best friends forever . . . . at least that's what they think -- until they meet Bolivia. She's visiting next door all summer and everyone wants the three of them to be buddies. But since she's a girl, Rory and Derek decide to ignore her completely. Except it's not so easy to ignore someone who has her own pet parrot and who likes to make snowballs -- out of ice-cream!

Derek starts thinking Bolivia's the funniest, craziest kid he's ever met, but Rory still says three's a crowd. Is there room in their friendship for Bolivia, or is she about to break up a perfect team?

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Hot and Cold Summer (Paperback)
This book was on my reading rendezous list. I read it and it was really good. It's one of
those books where it it is funny, exciting, and kind of weird! It's about these two guys,
Derek and Rory. They're best friends and they plan to do all this fun stuff in the summer but their
their neighbors' great niece Bolivia is coming for the summer and, well, I'll just let you read
the rest. If you are in the middle of trying to find a good book, consider reading this!

One of my favorties. It's sequal, The Cold and Hot Winter, is also very good. This book is about two best-friends, Derek and Roy who's friendship and summer is interupted by a very unusal girl named Bolvia who is visting her grandparents for the summer. Bolvia tries to be their friend but at first they don't like her. Then Derek decides he likes her. This makes Roy mad and they have a fight. Will Bolvia ruin Derek and Roy's friendship?

5.0 out of 5 stars Realistic - fiction at its best., March 24, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Hot and Cold Summer (Paperback)
This book was about two best friends, Derek and Rory. They never had a fight. They were the best of friends. That summer a girl named Bolivia came to town. She wanted to be friends with Rory and Derek, but they promised not to speak to her. When the two boys dressed alike, so did Bolivia. Finaly, the boys talked to her. Derek started to like Boliva but Rory didn't. For the last two weeks of summer, Derek went to camp, but Rory didn't. Then they had their first fight. While Derek was gone, Rory also started to like Bolivia. When Derek went home, Bolivia left.
