My Review: A Little Help from My Friends was a great read. This is the second book I have read from the Miracle Girls series and both of them dealt with the lives of four girls who became a part of each others lives unexpectedly. I like how the stories deal with the problems the girls have and everything is handled in a way that is realistic and relatable not overly full of outrageous dramatic situations that some teen books have. This book is about friendship, family, love, and standing up for what you believe in. A Little Help from My Friends was interesting even to this girl who is definitley past her teen years, but I enjoyed it and I think that you will too so check it out for yourself.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Zoe is used to being overlooked. As the youngest and shyest Miracle Girl, she was happy to fade into the background last year. But when she sheds her baby fat and shoots up four inches the summer before her junior year, everything changes. Now she's turning heads at school, and this new attention is beginning to strain her relationship with her sweet, serious boyfriend, Marcus.

Pressure builds when Zoe's assigned partner for history class is Dean Marchese--a handsome New York transplant who isn't afraid to show her how he feels.
Just when she needs her three best friends the most, the Miracle Girls are suffering from boy troubles of their own.

Even Zoe's rock-solid home life begins to shake underneath her when her parents' relationship frays in the face of serious financial burdens. As this uncertain year of growing pains comes to a frenetic head, the quietest Miracle Girl must find her voice at long last and take control of her own destiny . . . with more than a little help from her friends.
