Summary: Razzle is a GREAT book
Review: Razzle is about a boy named Kenyon Baker whose family moves in to Truro, a small town near Cape Cod. There Kenyon meets Razzle Penney a weird girl who works at the Swap Shop in the town dump. Kenyon also meets, Frank (a plumer), Harley (a boy crazy girl), and Billie (Razzle's grandmother) just to name a few.
This is a really interesting books with a pretty much un-predictable ending! Once I finished it I wanted to read more! Razzle is so interesting, complex and stuning that I can't wait to read more of Ellen Wittlinger's books!

Summary: Razzle is a Dazzling Book
Review: Razzle is one of the most diverse and interesting book I have read. I am a 15 year old girl and can relate to what happens in the book whether it happens around me everyday or it has happened to me personally. Many many people could relate to this book in some way or another. That, I believe, is why everyone loves the book if I ask them about it.

Someone is always wanting to have the prettier girl or guy,leaving behind someone they care for along the way, getting hurt by that prettier girl or guy, going back to the person they hurt and then get rejected. It happens in high school. But knowing about it and reading about it are two different things. You get a better understanding for what can really happen.

This book gives you a mixture of feelings that can embrace your heart or break it. If you are one of those people that doesn't like to read a book that takes a long to get into you will like this book from the very beginning. Once I picked up the book I couldn't put it down. You'll love it!!

Summary: Razzle is...
Review: Razzle's a very good book. My only critisism is that the ending was kind of hasty, like the author just wanted to get it over with. Other than that, this book was wonderful and should be read by all. I will definitley check out more of Ellen Wittlinger's novels due to Razzle.

Summary: Very good book
Review: THis book was wonderful. you can read some of the other reviews if you want a summary, but i dont want to waste my space with that. Its not one of those corny happy ending books where everyone is happy. those can be good if your in the right mood, but this is more of a truthfull real life book. there are some parts where you are worried for the characters, or sad. it makes your heart ache sometimes. it is very good and even though i dont like the other books by this author, this ones a keeper. i would like to comment on a review a little further down the list, by airwhacka i think. dont listen to her. she is a very closeminded person. she says she is shocked from this book, but i am shocked that she can be so closeminded that she doesnt want her daugther to read this. i mean, yes this book includes a gay man, and teenagers feeling each other up , and confrotational things like abortion and teen pregenency and suicide, but it is all done very tastefully and realistically. she is in denial if she thinks that this book isnt the way things are some places. This book makes you want to be one of the people in the story, they are so wonderful and unique (well, i want to be razzle. i like her) i hope this helped you.by the way, i am a high school student, 16, and other kids in my school have been doing these kinds of things since eight grade for some. this is how things really are.

Summary: Read This Book NOW
Review: This is the best Ellen Wittlinger book I have ever read - high praise for a wonderful author with other amazing books.

Fifteen year old Kenyon is resentful that his parents bought a group of vacation cabins in Cape Cod and moved him there without asking so they could enjoy a peaceful retirement in picture perfect settings. He's been enlisted to fix up the dilapidated buildings when he'd rather be taking endless rolls of film and exploring the different angles and facets of photography.

As the summer progresses, he develops a friendship with Razzle Penney - weirdo extraordinaire, but great person and wonderfully crafted character. A relationship with sexy but shallow Harley threatens to ruin everything he has with Razzle and others in the small town.

You won't want to put this book down. The characters are some of the most vivid I have ever read about. I wanted it to keep going forever.
