Amy, Number Seven (Replica #1)
by
Marilyn Kaye
Twelve-year-old Amy Candler is perfect in every way. She has superhuman powers: Amy can perform like an Olympic gymnast, she knows the answer to every question in her classes, and she can see and hear things from a distance out of range for a normal person.
But the one thing Amy cannot do is remember anything about her past. All she knows is that she keeps having a recurrin...more

Simply, I don't like "perfect" characters, even if they have a major part in the plot. I was just searching around my library and came upon this book; the cover was interesting, the "How many are out there?" on the cover of the book gave away literally all the surprise in the book for me.
The supporting characters were forgettable and not all that interesting; they didn't have quirks,(except for Tasha's dental fear, which was just a plot-mover so it's not really what I meant) and it seems like al...more

Probably one of the first books i read by myself. Certainly the fist series I had ever read. I loved them. From here I started reading books from authors like Lois Duncan, Caroline B. Clooney, and Christopher Pike. I remember going to the school library constantly and bothering the librarian for these books. They didn't have all of them, so I never did get to finish the series. I would go back and read them, but I'm sure they would be quite boring and childish to me now, so I'm not sure if I sho...more

I really enjoyed the Replica books when I was younger. They were qucik easy reads, that were also entertaining.
As far as plotlines go, it's fairly typical and what you can expect from the fiction sci-fi realm (think, Alex Mac, or Animorphs). The trials and tribulations of being a teenage clone.
I haven't read any of the replica books in quite some time, but did enjoy them throughout middle school.

I read this book years ago, but I still remember the series. I use to stay up late reading them. I remember the perfect girl, who turns out to be a cookie cutter like her other sisters. This was an interesting book. I usually don't give ratings on books I read before Goodreads because I don't retain that much of the story (or my opinion on it).. this series however stuck in my head.
I first started reading this series back in 8th grade, and I absolutely loved them. They were perfect for my age group and had just enough mystery and science fiction and cute young teen love to satisfy any reading need i had at the time. I am now 20 years old and still fondly go back to my shelf and pick up a random book out of the series and read, if only for nostalgia's sake.
I was a little disappointed with this one. I only read it because I heard it's similar to the Dark Angel TV series, but unfortunately it's nothing like the series.
The beginning was quite slow and the hints about Amy's 'perfection' could be a bit more subtle. Although this is a book for 9-12 year-olds, the story feels too simple and the characters are too predictable.

I remember reading this and making a fit when i lost the book.
Replica is a great book. I loved reading it. I loved the cloning business and the plot is interesting.
I mean imagine that you are this SUPER HUMAN and discovering that there are 7 of you out there..Kinda freakish huh.
Anyway i recommend this to EVERYONE. It is really a great read.

I like a good story. To me, it doesn't matter if the story is written for kids or adults. Overall, this is a fun series. The only weakness is the trilogy in the middle of the story that made no sense. The 4 star rating is for the series, not the book. The trilogy is the only reason that this is a 4 instead of a 5 rating.
Although this book was a bit scary, I still enjoyed it really much. In fact, I liked it so much, that I finished this book in only two days. I can't wait to read the second book of this series. However, what I really want to know, is, will people really come up with a way to make perfect clones, like Amy, one day?
I read the first 6 books of this series in Dutch ( the only ones that were translated) when I was in elementary or middle school. I absolutely loved them. They were page-turners and I read all six in a week or 2. I was completely addicted to them. I wish I'd known then that the series actually consisted of 24 books in English. I think I mourned for a while after I finished the sixth book.
This series is absolutely one of my favorite series as a kid, and now, too. It has romance, suspense, and drama all rolled into one. I highly recommend it. It is such a fast read, you could totally finish a book or two in one day.

This was a great book and i've been searching for the rest of the series since i read it. I even wished I could be a..well, science project, if it means i could be better in gymnastics. Right now, I SUCK!
I remember reading this series when I was in 5th grade or so. I never completed all of them, though, because my local library library didn't have them all. However, I remember loving the first ten or so that I was able to read.
The story is about a girl who suddenly discovers strange talents that she didn't have before. The people around her, including her mother, start acting differently, and Amy knows that something strange is going on. I don't recall detail-for-detail what happens, but we can...more

It was ok, it wasn't the best, but I was interested in how the story unfurled. I wasn't that impressed about how it was. (I read this a long time ago, but I do remember my feelings over it).
I've read the entire series and i loved it! Started with it when I was like seven or eight years old, and continued 'til... whenever the 16th book was out x)
I remember loving this series when I was younger. Didn't read all of them...but I may go back and read them just for fun :P
I couldn't put it down! It was amazing! It's too bad that I couldn't get my hands on the next books in the series.
Girl sci-fi about 12 year old Amy discovering that now that she's going through puberty, she's getting near-perfect at eveything from gymnastics to math to seeing & hearing over long distances. While researching her own life for an autobiography for shcool, she keep running into mysteries and missing information, leading her to believe her mom has secrets about her past. It's relatively interesting, written pretty realistically in a 12-year-old's style. It flows naturally until the end, whic...more
I really loved this series, back in the day. I haven't re-read it a while, so I'm not sure about it now.
A mix of sci-fi and teenage drama. I loved these books in elementary school.
Students love this series, can't wait to get to book 2

I was born in New Britain, Connecticut, and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. I also spent a year (5th grade) in Montgomery, Alabama, and a year in Ann Arbor, Michigan(8th grade). As a child, I always wanted to be a writer, but I had lots of other ambitions too. I wanted to be a teacher, a librarian, a movie star, the president of the United States, and a ballerina.
