内容简介 Blister was there for Jonah when he was the new student everyone loved to hate. Blister was there for Jonah when he lied and said he was a big TV personality. And Blister was right alongside Jonah when he turned his lie into a real job at a television station, complete with his very own show.
But now everything has changed. Because Jonah is in trouble once again, and he's looking to Blister to be more than just a friend....
作者简介 SUSAN SHREVEs Blister has sold more than 145,000 copies. She writes award-winning novels for both children and adults and teaches writing at George Mason University in Washington, D.C.
编辑推荐 From School Library Journal Grade 5-8–Alyssa Blister Reed experiences a whirlwind of change during seventh grade–she and her mother move in with her mother's new boyfriend, and best-friend Jonah repeatedly ditches her in his quest to fit in with the popular kids. When he runs away from home after being set up to take the blame for a theft, ever-resilient Blister seeks to rescue him. While coping with the internal tumult that defines early adolescence and the external changes forced upon her, the girl must figure out whom to trust and how to do the right thing for her friend. To add to her troubles, Jonah confesses that he wants more from Blister than just friendship. The breezy writing and tight plot move this stand-alone sequel to
Blister (Scholastic, 2001) along at a clipped pace. Blister is a strong, believable protagonist whose dilemmas and conflicting emotions will resonate with tweens. Shreve deftly portrays the rockiness that typifies seventh grade through the endearing characters, subtle tone, and low-key wit that her readers have come to expect. And, while the cover indicates a fluffy read, there is much food for thought and discussion within the pages of this exceptional book.

Blister (2001), Alyssa, who adopted the nickname Blister during her parents' painful divorce, finds seventh grade to be rocky terrain. Her mother has a new boyfriend, and she feels abandoned by her best friend, Jonah, who spends all of his time courting the popular guys. Just as bewildering is the new attention she is getting from boys, and Blister has plenty of questions. Although story threads seem a bit hastily tied together, the feelings and concerns are exactly right, from Blister's confusion about the father figures in her life to her anxiety about outfits and love: she likes her first kiss (but doesn't want to become the boy's girlfriend), and she worries about sex, which, while vaguely imagined, is still on the horizon ("Someday she would have a boyfriend and lie down in the backseat of a car with him. But not now"). The eccentric supporting cast, especially Blister's show-tunes--spouting grandmother, and Shreve's original, humorous voice round out a funny, poignant story that will appeal to readers who, like Blister, have just begun to think about romance.
