Review
“Seventh-grader Jessica’s assignment is to write a children’s book with a partner who will illustrate it. To her consternation, Jessica’s partner turns out to be Daphne Woodleigh, a reclusive, poorly dressed, silent classmate . . . . The growth of the girls’ friendship in the face of cruel peer pressures is honest and tender and even Jessica’s several betrayals of Daphne are understandable and lead to her growth as a person. . . . Readers can hardly help rooting for the two girls and hoping that these two appealing characters do remain best friends for a long time.” (School Library Journal )

Book Description
The SecretEverybody in Jessica's English class makes fun of Daphne. She never says a word to anyone -- just walks around with her nose in a book, with her long straggly hair hanging over her face. Now the worst thing has happened. The teacher has assigned Jessica to be partners with Daphne in the Write-A-Book contest!But being forced to work with the class "weirdo", Jessica gets an even bigger surprise. Not only does Daphne talk to her, but she tells Jessica a terrible secret...one that Jessica knows could be very dangerous to keep.

I thought Daphne's Book was a sweet and cherishing book. I like how the author wrote this book. It had good descriptions and just how the she wrote the book was good. At first it was boring but then I began to like it. I enjoyed the book because it was nice and touching . I also liked this book because it was about friendship and I like those type of books. This was really a heartfelt story and I wouldn't mind this book again.

Daphne's Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Daphne's Book (Paperback)
I enjoyed Daphne's Book alot. I liked the way the author made the story mix well with the characters. I also liked how she describes certain moments in the chapter. One of my favorite parts of the book was when one of the characters Daphne revieled two of her deepest secrets to one of her new friends. Daphne shared something so big with Jessica that Jessica stood by Daphne throughout the whole book. I recomend this book to anyone that wants a good book to read.

A True Book of Friendship,
By A Customer
This review is from: Daphne's Book (Paperback)
Daphne's Book was a very good book. It proved that even though people aren't popular you can still be friends with them. It tested friendship over every limit. Jessica truely proved she was a great friend. This book starts out slow and boring, but believe me it ws worth reading. It tought me not to bully people and made me realize my life's not so bad after all. Mary Downing Hahn wrote this book in such detail I thought it was happening in real life. I recomend this book to anyone who likes a book of true friendship and drama.
