A Fun Anthology

Best. Night. Ever. by Jen Malone

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Remember those good old days of Middle School or Junior High? How could you forget them, right? It was a time of change, a time of parties, and a time of lots of “firsts.” First crushes, disappointments, and also humor. Yes, humor, if not so much for the middle grade students as for the readers of BEST. NIGHT. EVER. by Authors Rachele Alpine, Ronni Arno, Alison Cherry, Stephanie Faris, Jen Malone, Gail Nail, and Dee Romito.

This anthology is such a fun story, even though the students, at times, did not think what happened to them was fun. Some of the incidents sure reminded me of emotions running wild and feelings easily hurt. In BEST. NIGHT. EVER, we meet Carmen, Genevieve, Ellie, Ashlyn, Ryan, Jade, and Tess, each with a story to tell. The authors do a splendid job of catching the emotions and voices of middle school kids.

We see the night and all that happens through the eyes and hearts of each character. Middle school students and even older teens should enjoy reading this anthology. Recommended for school libraries, classrooms, and your own personal library.
