1: One Real Thing Review
Melanie is saddened when another holiday comes. Her father will be drinking and her mother will still be buried in Iowa. She brightens up, though, when her favorite Junior Explorer (Amy) spends the holiday with her. Meanwhile, things with Jesse are going weird.Ben has never kissed anyone before. He decides to try it--but on who? Leah is preparing herself for possibly the most embarrassing moment of her life--the finals of the modeling contest in California.

2: Still waters run deep
I'm a 12 year old reader from CA. I have read all the Clearwater Crossing books, and this is my favorite. The Melanie/Jesse thing is driving me nuts. Does she love him? Does he love her? At the end, I was almost screaming at Melanie for being so dense. The Ben thing was a little undeveloped, but very interesting. After all, if you don't like the person you're kissing, than the kiss is worth nothing at all. As for Melanie and Jesse, if they're ever going to have a serious relationship, they both need to acknowledgde their feelings, not deny them, and learn to trust each other. I hope this review helped you!

3: EXCELLENT
I thought that this book was really good. The book was so life like. Not like some books where they try to make it life like but no one can ever relate to them. This is practically a dictation of the average teens life. I loved this book and if you have enjoyed other clearwater crossing books in the past you're guarenteed to love this one.

4: wonderful
Yet another wonderful book for adolescents. Being thirteen, I love to read stories that reflect all of the things Ms. Roberts includes. She has a very real approach to the world, and the topics she writes about I can really relate to. This book was very good, but overall I think I'm just a huge fan of the series. Looking forward to #9, and I recommend Clearwater Crossing to everyone!

5: Decent but not the best book in the series
I thought that in this installment of Clearwater Crossing, Roberts lacked development of characters. It wasn't as meaningful as any of the other books in the series. It left every conflict it brought up completely unresolved, and I prefer to have more resolutions. Although I understand that to continue the series, she must leave some conflicts unresolved, I felt this time she left far too many problems unsolved.
