The Crush Wars (Middle School Girls Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Melanie Marks (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 392 ratings
*No book needs to be read before this book* Robin’s mom is a maid for the family of the most popular girl at Robin’s school. Well, the most popular STUCK-UP girl at her school. Sadly, Robin is forced to work as a maid for the girl. (The stuck-up girl’s name is Sabrina, by the way.) (But Sabrina would rather be called “Her Majesty” … and have Robin treat her as a queen at school.) Things get horrible (and funny) when Sabrina sets her sights on Robin’s crush. Can the maid beat the queen in this middle school crush war? Robin is about to find out in this funny story for middle school girls ages 9 to 13.
Meanwhile in this book, Robin’s friend, Catrina, ends up being a maid for the cutest boy at her school. Eek! He is her secret crush. Can they become friends? Maybe even MORE than friends? Well, not if the mean girls at her school have their way, since they all have crushes on the boy too. Catrina has to endure some very embarrassing (and funny) things to find her happy ending. Will she get her crush? Or be crushed? Find out in The Crush Wars!
*No book needs to be read before this book.

    Oh my God! Melanie Marks story line reminded me so much of the typical life of a teen! Frenemies, crushes, and endless note passing during class! I cannot help but recognise the comparisons that happen to many girls just like Nicole! This book I would recommend to readers between the ages 11-13 as a funny and girly guide to surviving the confusing, embarrassing unforgettable moments that come with being a teenager! Good easy read that will be enjoyed and used as a survival guide when and if you do come to that awkward stage of coming to terms with crush wars!

    This is a very good book and I would recommend it to 11-13 year old girls. The story didn't make sense in some places but otherwise it was brilliant. I liked how it switches from different point of views but I don't like how it sort of didn't finish properly in my point of view. Apart from this it was a great book and it even sort of had a moral to it.

    11 year old daughter found it a bit slushy 'American' girly girl style and wasn't impressed. Suggests books by Cathy Cassidy or Karen McCombie for this age group.

    I really enjoyed this book. The only thing stopping it from getting 5 stars was the fact that it ended a bit abruptly. Apart from that, overall, a really good book!

    This was a wonderful book about two girls who are fighting over crushes. Nicole likes three guys and Nina is over all of them. Nicole is trying to figure out what guy to choose for her crush when her mom tells her that you are too young to date, so you can like as many guys as you'd like. She tells Matt she can't have a boyfriend, and they admit to each other they like them. Finally, the crush wars is over and Nina and Nicole are back to being friends.
