Project: Girl Power

Girls of 622 Harbor View #1

by Melody Carlson, Tim Marrs (Illustrator)

Written by bestselling author melody carlson.Meet Morgan, Amy, Carlie, and Emily. They all live in the trailer park at 622 Harbor View in tiny Boscoe Bay, Oregon. Proximity made them friends, but a desire to make the world a better place---and a willingness to work atit---keeps them together.

In the first book of this new series, Project: Girl Power, bullies knock Emily from her bike on her way home from school, so the girls start walking together because there's safety in numbers. With help from other people in the park, they set out to beautify Harbor View.

In book two, Project: Mystery Bus, the girls begin summer by working to clean and restore their bus to use as a clubhouse. And thus begins the Rainbow Club.

In book three, Project: Rescue Chelsea, Carlie makes a new friend. Chelsea Landers lives in a mansion and isn't always very kind. Carlie would like a best friend, but will Chelsea fit in with her other friends?

In book four, Project: Take Charge, the girls decide to take action when they find out their town's only city park has been vandalized and may soon be turned into a parking lot.

In sixth grade, Melody Carlson helped start a school newspaper called The BuccaNews (her school's mascot was a Buccaneer---argh!). As editor of this paper, she wrote most of the material herself, creating goofy phony bylines to hide the fact that the school newspaper was mostly a one-'man' show. She lives in Sisters, OR.

Yah, it was a pos pretty good read. If I was the author of probably put more school life into it. But it was cool. I'm excited about the new clubhouse, and the second book may be a better read. All in all his job
