Fab Girls Book Giveaway
This is a sticky post and will stay here at the top until the contest ends on Wednesday
Christmas has come early here at The Bean Blog. I’m having a contest to give away the Fab Girls Book Series to one of my lucky readers. That special tween girl in your life will love these books. She will find the answers to all her pressing questions about boys, friends, school, family and more. And all you have to do is read my review and leave a comment.
Here’s how you can win:
1. Go to The Bean Reviews and read my review on Discovery Girls Fab Girls Book Series.
2. Come back here and leave a comment. You could just say “hi” or you could tell me a story about your middle school years. Who was your favorite teacher and why? Did you and your BFF have any funny adventures? Who was your first crush?
3. You have until Wednesday, December 12th at 11:59PM Central Time to leave a comment.
4. I will randomly select a winner and notify the lucky recipient by Friday, December 14th.
What are you waiting for? Go read my review. Think about those gawky years. And tell me all about it.
I’ll start. My middle school crush was Robbie. He was a football player. He had light brown hair and glasses. My notebooks were filled with “I love Robbie” and big swirly hearts. In my eighth grade yearbook he wrote something like “it was nice to get to know you this year” because that’s what a boy writes when he knows you’re crazy about him and he doesn’t feel the same way. But that’s ok. I treasured that yearbook all summer long. Until I started high school and found a new crush. 
Thanks for the cool giveaway
My mind has blocked out most of my middle school years thankfully.
Well, I was the super-shy girl! I barely talked to anyone. Now I’m still shy, but instead of being super-shy I’m more like slightly-shy! Thanks for the giveaway!
I was also shy in junior high, but I had a crazy group of friends. We were planning to make a movie of the Star Trek episode “The Trouble with Tribbles,” and I was set to be Bones and Uhura, even though I was the wrong gender for one, the wrong race for the other, and the wrong age for both. For some reason, the original Star Trek didn’t have a lot of parts for twelve year old girls!
I remember taking French classes in school for the first time in 7th grade. At the beginning of the year, the teacher had some vocabulary cards up with both the French and English word for a specific classroom item. The one that caused the most giggles was the card on the blackboard eraser, which read, “the eraser - le tampon”!
Hi,
Hi there … I tried to leave a comment over on the review site, but it wouldn’t let me. Kept saying done, but my post didn’t post … so I’ll leave it here. Please enter me in the contest.
I will spare you the details of my middle school years. However, I also had a crush on a boy named Robbie. He played football. But he didn’t wear glasses. Whew! For a minute there I thought we were going to have to “scrap” over him. Remember saying stuff like that?
Anyway, I wrote a teen novel a few years ago (Briarwood Cove) and I have seriously thought about writing another one. I love to read teen/tween books and knowing more about the issues of today would help me when writing my own books. Heaven forbid I write about issues that no longer matter, right?
Thanks for entering me.
Hey! I love reading your blog. Junior High was the most awkward years for me, I had terrible acne, I was overweight, and was definately not part of the “in” crowd. Luckily I had a BFF that made the world seem doable. We were invincible together. My daughter will be 13 shortly after the holiday and I have been looking hard for books like these to give her as a Christmas gift. I am suprised that I haven’t come across these. This set is PERFECT! Just what I was looking for, all in one set. Thanks for the give away, what a great way to share the holiday spirit.
Loved the review, I really enjoy reading teen books and would love to add this to my winter collection….
Hi
Love your blog. And what a super giveaway! I know the perfect little tween for this. Thank you!
Thanks for your review!
Middle school was a great time,made lots of friends and was a cheerleader,many many great memories.
We called middle school junior high school and I was so shy then. I was a bookworm and had a huge crush on a boy who never noticed me : (
What a great set of books! I wish I had those when I was going through the middle school years. I definitely was on the shy side but had a great group of friends to pull me out of my shell!
would love to win!
i half time liked high school
other time HATEDDDD it
Hi, What a stupendous idea for books. I wish they would have been around when I was a “tween!” Junior high was more difficult for me
thank high school. My self-esteem was practically nill. Please enter me in this fantastic book contest. I have a niece that I know would benefit from them! Thanks for the contest…..Cindi
My first crush was my friend Jimmy. I thought I had to have a crush on someone because my best friend did.
I HATED middle school! Such an awkward time!
I was so backwardly shy until I was about 18. I wouldn’t make eye contact and always tried to blend in to the walls. I wanted to talk to people so bad, but would let the moment pass, then it was too late. Then I would spend the rest of the day kicking myself and thinking of clever things I could have said. I missed out on so much being shy. I would give anything to relive those years and have some fun… Make some memories!
The funniest part is, I recently attended my 20 year class reunion and found out that people thought I was stuck up! Totally the oposite! I felt so unworthy.
I’d love to enter your contest! I have a daughter smack dab in the gawky years!

great for my God-daughter. please enter me.
Hoping I get picked! As a mother of 3 daughters… I think I’m going to need these books!
My crush was a boy I sat next to in French class. It was la amour!
The series sound like a flood of flash backs - a flash flood if you will. HA. I told everyone in my book club about it. One has a 12 year and the other a 15 year old. I have a 14 year old niece and a 16 year old niece. I kept thinking how much any of them could get out of it.
As for myself…I remember I had really short, feathered hair in middle school. Wasn’t allow to choose my own style ’til 9th grade. My first real love was in middle school, Tom Titus. We dated off and on from 7th grade through 10th grade. He was my first - TMI. In between I had the obvious crushes. The ones you scribbled all over your notebooks and how about writing I (heart) so and so on the back of your hand. For someone reason one name comes to mind most and his name was Frank. He wasn’t really a jock - more of the choir type. He had curly hair like Justin Timberlake though (like who ever heard of Justin Timberlake back then - ha). I wrote several poems about middle school love. Check them out at http://loripoetry.blogspot.com. The oldest ones (going back to middle school) start at the bottom.
Christine, I heard there was free beer for all the guys. Right?
