I didn't think I'd like this book, because usually I find Anna, Salvador and Elizabeth pretty boring, but this was pretty interesting. Anna is all into her Drama Club and the skit she's doing with her new friends, Larissa and Toby. But in the midst of getting a new life, she forgets about her old one and misses a lot of Zone meetings and doesn't hang with Sal and Liz too much. I like Larissa and the other Drama kids a lot, so I think I'll like the book Wild Child. Don't be afraid of not liking the new characters- they're cool. I thought it was dumb how Anna dyed her hair red (I don't even want to try to imagine that) but I think Sal needed to get a life. He's so selfish- first he wants Liz, and pushes Anna away, now he wants Anna back. (as a friend) I wish Sal would move or something. He's one of my least favorites. Meanwhile, Kristin is beginning to work on a school carnival (that continues through the next two books) and has some run-ins with her jealous mother.

I like the Sweet Vally Junior High Series but this wasn't one of my favorite books. It was... okay. It was all about Anna and how she ditches Salvador and Elizabeth to hang with her new friends with drama. She starts acting really different... like dying her hair and missing Zone meetings which is typically un-Anna. I thought the plot was kind of boring, even though I usually like the plots with Salvador, Elizabeth and Anna.

In this book Anna changes A LOT! Ever since she's been hanging out w/ her Drama club friends she's been acting waayyyy different! She DYES her hair RED! I really don't like the new Anna. Also in this book Kristin's mom starts getting jealous of one of her teachers because......well, u just have to read the book.

When Anna joins the Drama club,she makes friends with Larissa,a british girl. She has other friends from the drama club and they put on plays for the parents. She also dyes her hair red,because her late brother Tim did it. She told Larissa about Tim and what happened to him one night,He was killed by a drunk driver. She is still friends with Elizabeth and Salvadore. Kristen is planning a carnival for SVJH. She and Bethel are arguing over it.

Anna isn't all that exciting, so I gave it 4 stars. I would have given it 3 stars but: 1. I haven't read the book (All Pascal's books R good!) 2. Anna is going to start being more exsiting. (By what the back of the book says) I can't wait till I get the book, even though Anna can be boring. (Ex. Since her brother died she's been kinda mopy) I hope Anna gets good at acting. She seems like she'd be good at it! When I get the book I'll put up another review.

I think that this will be a good book. I don't really like Anna, but I'm happy for her, since she's getting out of the house more often and she has friends in the drama club. I can't wait to read this book!

Also reccommended: all the other Sweet Valley books.

I got the book. Now maybe I can write a better review. Anna did get more exciting. (She even died her hair)Anna sometimes forgot about Zone meetings, and Salvador didn't like that. Salvador gets really jealous of the Drama Club members. Elizabeth tries to get Anna and Salvador back to being friends. Anna and Salvador have been friends 4ever. Don't ya think they're friends now?

I didn't really like the book.Anna died her hair bright red, forgot about all the Zone meetings, and even though she has a bunch of new friends, she's still the same, insecure Anna.Instead of a magazine, the Zone goes on the web, with the disapproval of Salvador.Anna is probably my least favorite character because she over-obsesses about her dead brother Tim, and she's just plain boring.I also don't like the way they all call it a 'zine instead of a magazine, it had me confused for a while and I was wondering what it was.buy it if u want, im not so glad i did

Its an good book. I really liked the plot!
