Book Summary and Comments:
In the beginning of the book the main character is a gymnast and she wished for breasts and this boy in her class. In the middle part of the book her wish came true (the breasts). When she did her beam routine she got done and her coach told her to put those things in. At the end of the book the other part came true (the boy in her class). She ended up getting what she wanted and then he gets strangled in her arms.

Book Summary and Comments:
A boy named Matt was a clone of an old man and was saved for spare parts when needed. When he is needed he rebels and runs away. At the beginning it was kinda like what the heck then I got farther in and it was better.
