Did You Hear About Amber? (Puffin High Flyer)

Rating:
Summary: Beneath all popular teens, there is always a problem.
Review: Amber Lynn Harkin has it all; boyfriend, cheerleading, and the hot dance group, Sizzle. One day she finds out that she has a disability. She now faces many risks concerning her reputation. It just goes to show you that being different is ok and just because you are popular, doesn't mean you don't have a lot of problems.

Summary: It got me to love reading...
Review: I read this book when I was in 6th grade and I am 22 now and still skim through it. This book really got me back on the reading track and I started enjoying reading again. Cherie is a terrific author, and if it weren't for this book and her many sunset books, I don't think I'd be reading as avidly as I do today! Two thumbs up.

Rating:
Summary: It was pretty good.
Review: It was a good book, but I didn't like how Amber was so self-centered. In the end, she changes for the better though.

Summary: You won't want to put it down.
Review: Sixteen year old Amber has everything: a rich and handsome boyfriend, popularity, a role as head cheerleader, a dance group close to stardom, poverty, a thirty-two year old mother, and a crippling medical secret that could cost her everything she thinks is important in her life. Amber's cockiness and manipulations to rise to number one also play a role in her social downfall. This novel by Cherie Bennett is an excellent story about how one girl's impoverished beginnings created a stong desire in her to hide her true self and become the best at everything, only to find one day that the life as she had built as her own was nothing but a lie. Amber finds that undoing this lie takes her away from her previous dreams and shows her the dreams that she really wanted. I recommend this book for its excellent writing and "soapopera-esque" storyline.

Rating:
Summary: It is a sad story but truthful
Review: The story was very touching. It made me cry. I felt her pain. It was well written and described the truth of a teenagers life. People can be cruel to those that are different. I hope in the next book I read with Amber, her luck changes

Rating:

Review: This book was a deeply touching and emotional book. It's about a girl named Amber, who enjoyed dancing, partying and boys. Everything's going her way, until she finds out she has a disability, and must find the courage and strength within herself, to help deal. This book is frank and straight to the heart.
