Janette Rallison

I sure am glad that I am not in high school anymore. Some great person said," It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.", that describes my high school experiences. Two books by Janette Rallison, All's Fair in Love, War and High School and Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Free Throws looks at the best of times and the worst of times.

Samantha Taylor is the head cheerleader who just receives her SAT scores, her very low SAT scores. Samantha knows that she must do something to make her self attractive to " good universities". She decides to run for Senior Class President and then her troubles really begin. All's Fair in Love, War, and High School looks at the ups and downs of Samantha as she runs for Senior Class President.



Life, Love and the Pursuit of Free Throws tells the story of best friends, Josie and Cami. Josie loves Ethan and Cami loves basketball. But Cami has a secret, she too like Ethan. It looks like he may like her, too. What is she going to tell Josie?

I really enjoyed both books and think both high school and junior high girls would enjoy them.
