New York Minute
By Eliza Willard

Ruining high heels and getting drenched in disgusting sewer water are the least of Roxy and Jane Ryan's problems. Roxy and Jane Ryan are total opposites who are strangely brought together because of two strange men who chase them through town. Officer Lomax is trying hunt Roxy down for skipping school and forging her dad's signature. A man named Bennie is searching around New York City for Jane, to get his microchip back. It's going to be hard trying to get the chip back to Bennie because a dog, Reinaldo ate it. They travel around the city in towels trying to find Bennie. Jane gets kidnapped and finds out that Bennie sells pirated movies, CDs, and DVDs.

This was a great, exciting comedy that I couldn't put down. Eliza Willard does a great job making this book appealing to children. She does an excellent job on making the book seem just as good as the movie. This suspenseful story got me guessing and wanting to know more. With well described characters and setting she painted a picture of the scene in my mind. I'm very excited to read her other books such as "The Secret to Jane's Success" and "There's Something About Roxy." I really recommend this book to any girl who likes Mary-Kate and Ashley because they play Roxy and Jane.

My favorite part of this book is when the go into the "House of Bling." This was a well described part. It was funny because of the pictures that showed them dressed up in some pretty strange clothes. The pictures that Wilson includes in her book are from the actual movie "New York Minute."
