A Fun and Sweet Reading ...,
By
This review is from: Peaches (Paperback)
I found this book in one of those Buy Three and Get One Free deals in a chain bookstore ~~ the selections were quite limiting that day and I really didn't want to pass up the free book deal. (That is a true sign of a bookholic btw!)I picked it up during a recent bout of sinus infection and wasn't able to put it down till it was finished. Yes, it is sweet and predictable ~~ but it was written so nicely! It really is a sweet book!
This book is about friendship among three young girls. There's Murphy, a very intelligent but bored young girl who rather be busy causing trouble. There's Birdie, a very shy girl who's father owns the peach orchard. She is related to Leeda, a young socialite, who's parents own several hotels in the area and is considered to be spoiled. All three girls have issues with their mothers and with their lives. Thrown together over spring break for various reasons, they developed a bond while protecting the peaches from a late frost. Coming back together over the summer, they really defined their friendships, fell in love and it was the summer of their lives. This is a sweet book simply because it's written simply. It flows naturally among the characters and it brings back memories of summer camp! The descriptions of working in a peach orchard didn't hurt it any ~~ in fact, after reading this book, I was craving peaches! It is a wonderful book for anyone to read ~~ and perfect for those young teenagers who likes to read. It's fun and delicious. 1-14-07

even better than The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants!,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Peaches (Hardcover)
I saw that the author of the Taveling Pants books recommended Peaches, and since I LOVED those books, I had to read this one. It's about three girls who probably wouldn't be friends, but then they spend a summer together. I really liked all of the girls in different ways, even though I think I'm most like Birdie (the shyest one). Anyway, I read this book in one weekend because I couldn't put it down. I was so sad when it was over!Everyone should definitely read this book!

A fun read,
By Lyn (Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peaches (Paperback)
This was a very fun book-- there was a lot going on, since there were three main characters and therefore alternating points of view. It was interesting to watch how the girls grew together to become best friends, and it wasn't at all fake: through the entire book, the girls weren't hesitant to make smart remarks to each other. I loved the portrayal of the peach orchard, around which the book was centered; it brought the story together and brought it to life. The descriptions were wonderful and evoked strong imagery. The girls learned to grow together through their differences in personalities and the hardships they were facing as teenage girls. My favorite character was definitely Murphy; she was strong and independent, and had a tendency to speak rather sharply at times. She loved to get herself into mischief. However, she was not perfect: at times she let her guard slip, and her friends were able to see underneath her tough cover.
I recommend this book to any teenager who is looking for a quick enjoyable read with themes that pertain to almost every young girl.
