This book is about snobby Taffy Sinclair getting a part in a national soap opera. Of course, Jana is jealous, (anyone would be), and Taffy rubs it in every chance she gets, so the Fabulous Five decide to get even by writing an 'expose' on everything snotty Taffy has ever done. Maybe those things were true, but I don't think Jana should have written it. Just because Taffy is a jerk doesn't mean Jana should lower herself to her level. This is a good book to show what happens when jealousy gets the best of us.

I know I'd die of jealousy if I saw my worst enemy on a TVshow, and then having her rub it in the next day at school. This is agreat book that shows the feelings REAL kids feel.

So...Taffy's won a part on a soap opera and Jana's all jealous. Taffy, who loves to be the center of attention, brags about her part. The rivalry between Jana and Taffy takes an ugly turn in this book when Jana, egged on by her friends, writes an "expose" on Taffy for the school newspaper and it gets published. I felt kind of sorry for poor Taffy and was glad when Jana got it GOOD from the vice-principal. One cute, but meaningful scene was the day after that "expose" incident, Mona sticks her tongue out at Jana in the lunch line. Mona should have blasted Jana.
