License to Spill


By Lisi Harrison                               


     The second installment from Ms. Harrison continues the story of the Phoenix Five from "The Pretenders."  All of the cliffhangers from the first story are answered, yet the year is not complete so who knows what is to happen to Sheridan, Jagger, Lily, Duffy or Vanessa.  Harrison continues with the journalling of Phoenix Five.  So all of their inner thoughts, concerns and troubles are known to the reader.  
     You will discover Jagger's big secret, but does he spill it by the end of this book?  Everyone's favorite drama queen, Sheridan, continues as Octavia's understudy, and her aspirations of becoming a professional actress.  Will she be able to regain her best friend Audry?  The Stalker, Lily, is she arrested? does she continue at Noble High School? what about her friendship with Blake?  Duffy, the young promising basketball player, what is to become of his budding relationship with Sheridan? does he continue on the path of fashion sales? Finally, what is to become of the Overachiever, Vanessa?  All of these questions are answered in the book, but I refuse to divulge too much because you need to read it!  
     I totally enjoyed this quick read book!  The charm is that I know my own school's version of these characters.  I may have been one of these.  It really does give one an inside glimpse of what many would believe are exemplary role models, yet they struggle like many, they have their own doubts concerns and problems!  I would give this installment a 5 out of 5 stars and would keep it for 6th grade up, just because of some of the mature content.
