Everyone knows that Angel Lieverman is big-time trouble. That's why Lizzie stays as far away from her as possible! But when Angel and - gasp! - Lizzie have to serve detention together, Lizzie realizes that Angel's life is exciting! Soon Lizzie has a new image and a new attitude. Who knew that being bad could be so much fun? Now, if only Lizzie's family and friends could see it the same way! Plus, Lizzie thinks her friend Gordo's obsession with the lingo and music of the Rat Pack is totally lame - until the whole school gets into it. Soon Lizzie is helping organize a lounge-lizard-themed dance, and Gordo is furious with her for being a phony. Can Lizzie convince Gordo that she's gonna do it - her way?

This review is from: Lizzie Goes Wild! (Lizzie McGuire Junior Novel, Book 3) (Paperback)

Wow!! Great book!! This book by Kirsten Larson and Terri Minsky is ravishing. It shows Lizzie as a wonderful girl always on her teachers and parents side. But one day she goes into detention for cheating. When she gets there Angel is there. Angel is the girl that cheated off of Lizzie. When Lizzie starts talking with Angel she really starts to like her. They hang out more and more. Lizzie acts like a wild crazy teen. Ditching her friends and talking with bad language. Then she even wears nose rings. She has gone to far. Her friends Miranda and Gordo want the old Lizzie back. So they go to the one and only Matt McGuire. Read this amazing book to find out what happens. If they get the "good Lizzie" back. Or just watch it every night on Disney channel and see if you can find this episode! It's on at 8:30 every night!! I think all teenage girls would love this book-litterally!!

This review is from: Lizzie Goes Wild! (Lizzie McGuire Junior Novel, Book 3) (Paperback)

"Lizzie Goes Wild" is a good book based on the televison series. I, personally, like Part Two better, but that's just me. Here's a sneak peek of both parts.

PART ONE---Lizzie (aka Good Girl McGuire) gets detention. HER! DETENTION! Lizzie is so upset but in detention she meets Angel Lieberman, and she realizes that Angel's no monster, and that she's pretty cool. But that's just what Lizzie thinks. Lizzie starts hanging out with Angel, and Miranda and Gordo want her back. Lizzie starts ditching them and lying. Can Miranda and Gordo get Good Girl McGuire back off the wild side?

PART TWO---Gordo's new obsession is this Rat Pack cool lounge stuff. Lizzie and Miranda first aren't with Gordo on it, then they change their mind. Lizzie and Miranda turn all the Rat Pack lounge stuff into a new trend, and Gordo doesn't want any part of it. He wants to be his own person, and is upset that it turned into the new fad. It's the trendsetter himself that gets left behind. Will Lizzie and Miranda get Gordo to jump back on the Rat Pack wagon? Or will he stay left behind?

This review is from: Lizzie Goes Wild! (Lizzie McGuire Junior Novel, Book 3) (Paperback)

This book is a novelization of two episodes of Lizzie McGuire. The first one is called "Bad Girl McGuire". In that part of the story, Lizzie gets detention and starts hanging out with a girl named Angel and suddenly goes "bad". Of course, since this is a children's show (and book), she doesn't do anything drastic, but her friends still want the old Lizzie back. In the second part of the book is the episode "Come Fly With Me", where Gordo is into 60's(not hippie, but "Rat Pack")stuff. Lizzie and Miranda accidentally make it a trend, but then Gordo gets mad and stops liking it(or at least pretends to.) The title of this book is sort of fitting for the first story, but not the second. This is an exact copy of the show, but to make it seem more like a real book, the writer adds a lot of details, like Lizzie writing a note to her math teacher, but then getting rid of it. I recommend this book only to people who either are collectors or have very young children. The whole story is completely G rated and can be a bit boring. Just buy the videos, it's more fun that way.
