Book Description

Publication Date: March 2001 | Series: The O'hurleys

Good-bye, Clearwater Crossing . . . hello, California! Well, at least for the weekend. The girls of Eight Prime are on an all-expenses-paid trip to the Golden State, and each of them has her own agenda. . . .

Leah’s trying to focus on the modeling competition--and the scholarship that goes with it. But how can she strut down the catwalk when all she can think about is Miguel’s marriage proposal?

Melanie is ready for sunshine and fun, forbidding herself even a moment’s thought of Jesse. So why does she see his face everywhere she looks?

Jenna’s squeezing in as many cool sessions as possible at the Hearts for God youth rally. She wants Nicole to join her, but her starstruck friend is too busy keeping her eyes peeled for movie stars--and hoping to be discovered. Will Nicole give faith a chance, or is Hollywood calling her name?


Book 9 of the Clearwater Crossing Series

This review is from: Skin Deep (Clearwater Crossing, #9) (Mass Market Paperback)

Are you interested in teen life related books? Skin Deep, by Laura Peyton Roberts, is an amazing book that will attract you to it. It may be a fiction book, but this is a book you will not want to miss out on! It's about a group of girls that have an all expense paid trip to California. Leah won the modeling competition in Clearwater Crossing, Missouri, so she has advanced to the U.S Girls Competition. Jenna, Melanie, Nicole, and herself all are glad to be going to the trip to California to escape their problems. I'm sorry, but to find out the rest of this fantastic book, you have to go out and read it!

This book was such a great book that I recommend it to all the females in the world. I don't think boys will enjoy it too much, because they won't enjoy the problems girls have, and also this is a book that relates to what girl go through in life. So I would definitely recommend this great book to girls in their teen and preteen years. I think that I really enjoyed this book, because I can kind of relate to some of the problems the girls in this book go through on everyday basis. Also, it's exciting to see what happens when there is a problem going on and they solve it. This book never made my mind wander of into outer space. My mind was fully paying attention to this book and also my mind was at work thinking of what was going to happen next. So, I think that if you girls, who I think will enjoy this more than the boys will, read this book. I'm pretty sure that you will enjoy it and thank me for it!

Overall, I hope you saw why I believe that Skin Deep, By Laura Peyton Roberts, is such a great book to read. Not only is it a fabulous book to read, but for most of you girls out there, it should somewhat relate to your life story. At least your teen life should relate a little bit to this book. This book is such a great page-turner, mind thinker, fun, and so much more positive things you can imagine in a book! So, I encourage you to get up on your feet, and get this book, and start reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Skin Deep, Clearwater Crossing book #9, June 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Skin Deep (Clearwater Crossing, #9) (Mass Market Paperback)

I think that it was a good book that tells you you can't always have it all. The thing I like about this book is that it's realistic, because they all are different and have different personalities. Some of their parents are divorced and some parents are deceaced, like many families in the real world.

Skin deep is good but disapointing because everything that Leah was working hard for falls apart. But Miguel proposes so that's a good thing. Melanie still likes Jesse so that's a good thing.
