I laughed and got sad, great book!
Very touching, funny, and just great! I did feel bad for Julie when her parents divorced, lost her best friend, Ivy, got teased at school, but it was wonderfully written, and a very great book. 5 stars, 8+! (I'm nine).

couldn't relate to it
I have to admit that this was a very good book and i did like it, but Julie's reaction to certain sitiations were hard to relate to. for example, when her parents got divorced, she was more concerned about losing her best friend then her parents.

Julie ROCKS!
I think it was a like a really good book but did Julie have any other friends besides Ivy and TJ?I don't think Tracy really helped at all! But Julies mom and dad helped a lot! I loved it!

I like it.
I liked the book a lot. It has positive messages, great role models, and teaches girls about growing up in the 70's. Although in some parts, Julie could care a little bit more about Ivy.

YOU GO JULIE!!! OF ALL FOURTEEN YR OLDS YOU ARE A STAR!
She's not nine; she's FOURTEEN! What do you think nine-year-olds look like? THIS JULIE?? go get a life. this is cool though many dumb people think this child's nine, when she's fourteen. [I'm thirteen.] My heart went out to this poor little girl when her father deserted the family.
