I just finished reading 282 pages out of the book Maggie Bean by Tricia Rayburn on March 28, 2011. It's about a girl named Maggie who has fallen in love with her best friend Arnie. But their relationship has started to get awkward now that their dating. And Maggie is determined to get her first kiss with Arnie...soon. With Maggie's busy schedule already filling up she still has one more thing to work through...the swim team. The Water Wings team is competing against the regular swim team to find out who gets the pool. Now Maggie has to juggle school, swim team, her job, her boyfriend, her friend, and her family. Can she do it all?
My favorite character in this book was Carla. Carla was Maggie biggest swim fan. She was really spunky and enthusiastic. For example, when Carla's mom's truck broke down Carla had to run outside and push it...and she's only in the sixth grade!
I would recommend this book to girls 9-13.
count it.
