Snail Mail No More by: Paula Danziger and Ann M. Martin


Snail Mail No More
By: Paula Danziger and Ann M. Martin
*****

Snail Mail No More is a story about two girls Tara and Elizabeth who are best friends and remain friends even though Tara moves. Even though they are far apart they still come to each other with their problems in life and with the best news ever. Tara helps Elizabeth get through all her problems with her dad and Elizabeth helps Tara get through all her problems and fears about having a younger sibling. They're with each other all the way and that's
what makes them TRUE best friends.

My favorite parts of the book are when Elizabeth flies to Ohio to see Tara and later on at the end of the book Tara visits Elizabeth in New Orleans. Those are my favorite parts because even though they are in the same house as each other they still email each other because they sometimes have problems they don't want to talk about in person. They like it better when they just enjoy when they're together and not worry about all these problems and leave it in the world of email. I really like how they do that.

I rated this book a five star because it is an adventure through their hard lives as they stick together from far away. They trust each other with anything.

Elise, I'll bet this kind of communication takes place between friends who are separated and yet want to remain close.

They did survive some real problems, though, very serious ones, too, eh?

I think the two authors wrote this book by each taking a part. Did you check this out? It might be very interesting to know.

All my friends who have read said it was a good book. Whenever I talk to my friend Vanessa while she was reading it, she wouldn't respond because she was so lost in the book. I think I wanna go to the library and check it out.

ELISE!!
This book is so good. I think the sad part is when they find out that the dad died and i feel really sorry for elizabeth because shes had like a messed up life.

Hey, you requested this book to me and I read it. I thought it was a super good book one of the best books i have read all year. My favorite part was when Elizabeth found out his dad died. I agree with Saige Elizabeth does have a messed life.

Oh Elise!
I've read this book too and it's my favourite book.
I agree with saige, that the part near the end when Elizabeth's dad died was terribly sad. But then she had a part of her that missed her.
