5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book and author!, May 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Jellyfish Season (Avon Camelot Books) (Paperback)

When I first read this book at the age of eleven, I loved it because it was so easy to follow. Now I am fifteen , and I can't count how many times I've read it. It is still one of my favorite books. After reading this one, I was able to find all of the authors books, and read them all. I now own all but the two most recent ones. I n fact this book changed my life in a way. I used to absolutely despise reading, and now it is one of my favorite things. It's true, "There is no Frigate like a Book"! Thank you Mary Downig Hahn, and continue to write wonderful books!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars True to the time of life, and the location, June 25, 2004

This review is from: The Jellyfish Season (Avon Camelot Books) (Paperback)

This was one of my favorite books in my young adulthood. Soon after I had moved away from my bayfront house in the town in the book (yes, it's a real town!) I discovered this book on the library shelves. I was amazed that the author was able to capture the essence of North Beach so well. She also does a very good job with the relationships of the girls...I remember that age and the so called "friends" I made. For me it will always be a reminder of my childhood. Highly recommended from someone who has been there :)

And to correct a previous review from someone...This did not take place in New England...Baltimore and North Beach are both in Maryland.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Memory, December 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Jellyfish Season (Avon Camelot Books) (Paperback)

I first read this when I was ten years old, and I searched for years for something like it. I related to it, and thrived on this book as a child. After many years, I still think of this book with warm memories and recommend it for any child growing up, dealing with confusing feelings. It helped me and made me feel not so alone.
