  <default_description>Emma-Jean is experiencing something new and unsettling, but not entirely unpleasant. It&#8217;s a fluttering in her heart when she imagines herself asking Will to the seventh-grade dance. Her best friend Colleen is worried that Will might laugh if Emma-Jean invites him. After all, Emma-Jean is a &lt;i&gt;different&lt;/i&gt; kind of girl&#8212;certainly different from queen-bee Laura, who has always made it clear that Will is &lt;i&gt;hers&lt;/i&gt;. Maybe Colleen can distract Emma- Jean from this risky plan by recruiting her for a top-secret investigation. You see, Colleen has an anonymous admirer, and if Emma-Jean can help her figure out who he is, then &lt;i&gt;Colleen&lt;/i&gt; could ask &lt;i&gt;him&lt;/i&gt; to the dance. Even more endearing and genuine than its predecessor, this companion to the award-winning &lt;i&gt;Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell Out of a Tree&lt;/i&gt; steals your heart and inspires a smile that lasts as long as the novel itself. . . and longer.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I absolutely loved this and the first Emma-Jean book. Perfect to recommend to middle-school girls--the friendships are described exactly right, and I love how their problems are solved (or not) and there's the usual adolescent drama, but not the angst of some middle school fiction. Funny and charmin...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62630393">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[EJL continues to experience life in the 7th grade from her quirky, intellectual point of view. She now has friends and experiences her first crush (tho the title is misleading, b/c it's really her friend Colleen who has more of a romance in this book).

    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed this, although not as much as the first one.  From the beginning, I was bothered by Emma-Jean's voice as it sounded far more &quot;spock-like&quot; than I remembered.  But she, and the other characters, grew on me.  I especially liked how Colleen came to here realization that she could be ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46639149">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Emma Jean is a great character and one I would love to meet.  I especially love her interactions with adults (when her mother explains about spring fever/crushes/being in love it was hard not to chuckle).  This sequel was just as delightful as the first.  I think Tessa is going to enjoy both of thes...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62110760">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I just love Emma-Jean.  I think these are great books for middle school girls because they go to show how petty and insignificant most of the things people worry about in middle school really are, and that the most important thing is to come into your own and learn who you are as a person.

    <body><![CDATA[A refreshing and nicely &quot;young&quot; version of life in middle school, as seen through the eyes of our narrator.  Emma-Jean's literal (aspergers?)and<br/>practical view of the world are an amusing counterpoint to the more<br/>emotional and dramatic reality of her friends. Light and sweet.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Quick read...more of the same as Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell Out of a Tree. Sweet, darling girls (normal boys!) and a sweet, happy ending. Of course it is! It's just that kind of a story. I had to increase my rating to 5 since my heart is still happy from reading this book.
