Rumor Has It (Candy Apple #22) Reviews


  • JenniferJ

    Audrey has been friends with Carmen since like forever but when a new girl arrives at school, Audrey goes out of her way to try to become friends with the new girl as far as making a "slam book" because she just has to know what the new girl thinks about her!

    I really wanted to smack Audrey upside her head! You don't diss a friend like she did just to make a new friend. Besides what kind of example does that show the potential new friend that if another new person comes along you may do them the same way? Friends are fairly easy to find but a bestest friend is somebody you need to hang onto as Audrey finally learns!

  • Isabella

    This book is about a girl, Audrey Jones. There came a new girl in town. Audrey thought that she seems nice and wants to make friends but Audrey doesn't know what Mailee (the new girl) thinks of her. Audrey started a slam book to find out what Mailee thinks of herself but slam books are against the rule in her school! Will Audrey find the real truth and yet avoid the trouble of getting caught of starting a slam book? (I'm making this sound like the blurb aren't I? )

    When a new girl named Mailee moves into town, Audrey becomes fascinated with how down-to-earth, fun, and friendly she is to everyone. Audrey knows she wants to become friends with her, but is afraid to ask.

    To figure out what Mailee thinks of her, Audrey starts a slam book. The rules are simple. Everyone uses a number, not their name, when they're entering information about other people, and they have to do it alone. When they're done, they have to sneakily pass it on to the next person.

    When rumors start flying that Audrey was the one who made the slam book, she starts to worry that Mailee won't get the book or, worse, will think less of her. In the process of trying to get Mailee to like her, however, Audrey ignores her best friend, Carmen, who's been acting strange ever since her parents called a family meeting.

    Will Audrey manage to make friends with Mailee while still staying friends with Carmen? Why is Carmen acting so different? Will Audrey get caught for making the slam book?

    RUMOR HAS IT is a fun, fast book to read. The characters are pretty well-developed, and the plot moves along quickly enough to keep the reader's attention. Those who like realistic fiction and the other Candy Apple books will enjoy reading this one.

    Borrowed from the Little Library. Very cute, but goodness me Audrey is such a flake - it was obvious from the first dark look that Carmen was feeling left out and hard done by, and why wouldn't she be? They're bffs but suddenly Audrey is investing all her time and energy into finding out if the new girl likes her or not, and she isn't above using Carmen in her quest either. I'm pretty sure that even if I was the target age group I'd still be annoyed by her ;)

    Audrey Jones wants to see if the new girl at school Mailee wants to be friends with her. So Audrey decides to start a slam book to see what everyone thinks of her- including Mailee. Slam books are against the school rules and Audrey can get caught. Everyone is exited to read and write in the book, but does Audrey really want to know the truth?

  • Ava Mumman

    I like this book! The thing is this can happen in modern day life!.. I was surprised at the end.. I am not going to be a spoiler so I won't say much!;) I would suggest to read it, some may like it, some may don't. But I do!

  • Meghna

    I read this book recently. I think Audrey should have just asked Mailee if she liked her instead of starting a slam book and all of that trouble. I think Carmen should have been nicer. She was spiteful.
