Product Description
Kate and Marylin have always been the kind of best friends who don't need words to talk to one another; they always just knew what the other was thinking. But lately it's starting to feel as though they don't know each other at all anymore. Marylin decides Kate (who still chases fireflies!) still acts like a baby, while Kate doesn't understand Marylin's new obsession with painting her toenails or wanting to be a cheerleader (and becoming on eof those people who only thinks about her hair!). And even though, secretly, they both wish things could be the way they were, neither one of them know how to get back there.

 Secret Language of Girls November 6, 2008
The Secret Language of Girls is a great realistic fiction book about the friendship of two girls!
This book is about two eleven-year-old girls, Kate Faber and Marylin. These girls learn the true meaning of friendship, but they have some hard times along the way. Kate Faber is the leader of the two and she is confident, but feels lonely when Marylin becomes a cheerleader and doesn't hang out with her anymore. Marylin goes to parties, finds new friends, and starts liking boys! Kate finds new friends and gets a boyfriend! Both girls like their new lives, but on the inside they wish they could be friends again.
I like this book because it's realistic fiction. It talks about the friendship of two girls. It tells how they fall apart and are reunited. I recommend this book for all middle school girls.
 My Favorite Book Of All Time!!!!! October 5, 2008
I really liked this book. I had gotten it because I had opened the book and saw one of the characters was scared of bugs which I am to. I read it and fell in LOVE with it. There is a new story every chapter. Mostly of the two main characters Marylin and Kate. In just the first chapter you start to wonder about things you have really never wonder about before. This book is SO AMAZING!!!!!!P.S. I am 11 but I think any age girl could read it.
A Good Tween Read May 17, 2008
Sandra McLeod Humphrey (Minnetonka, MN United States)
This is a story about friendship, peer pressure, growing apart, growing up, and making choices. I loved the characters and fell in love with Paisley who was almost too good to be true. I also loved Marylin's younger brother Petey and her Aunt Tish who added a lot of charm to the story. I think readers will easily identify with particular characters and recognize their friends in some of the other characters. It's a good read and I think some of the choices the characters make will give readers a lot to think about.

A sweet book with great female characters. The book feels like an accurate portrayal of tween girls and I'd like to read more by this author. Definitely recommended!

I think this is a beautiful book about friendship hopes dreams and everything in between! It shows how much you need your friends that you've been friends with forever in the end. Also, how 6th grade will either tear you apart or bring you closer together. I am about to endure my journey to 6th grade and I have no clue what I would do if I had to be in either Marylin's shoes or Kates. Finally it shows how some hard time and new people on the block will make you fight for your rights to stay with with your friends or show you even more that you clearly have to just step away. That is my review for The Secret Life of Girls! It was one of my favorite books!
