This book is about two friends Tara*star and Elizabeth. Tara* star is “kidnapped” by her “charents”, or child like parents, and is forced to move away from her best friend in the world, Elizabeth. This book consits of letters for Tara*star to Elizabeth and from Elizabeth to Tara*star. Through the letters they talk to each other about what is going on in their lives. Elizabeth is super rich and is becoming poor because her dad lost his job, they have no savings, and their credit cards are maxed out. Yet, still Elizabeth’s dad is buying things because he does not want anyone to know that they are becoming poor. Tara*star was poor and is now becoming better off. Her young parents that she is used to taking care of get jobs. Then shocking news, Tara*star’s parents are having a baby and Elizabeth’s dad leaves her family and won’t call or write to them. How will each girl deal with their problems?

In this book the authors act as each of the girls and neither of the authours knew what was going to happen next in the story. I just found out that they made a sequal called Snail Mai No More. I can’t wait to read it!!!
