Straight Up
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I love the SVSY books! At first this book didn't interest me, but then I really got into it. Here it goes.. It's time for the Lydia G. Senate Scholarship competition! Maria Slater, Melissa Fox, Tia Ramirez, and 2 others all got nominated. Both Ken Matthews & Elizabeth Wakefield got nominated to be the Student Judges. Ever since Ken started dating Melissa, there's been a lot of tension between them and Maria, but who will Ken choose? Elizabeth also has a problem; she's been wanting the scholarship for over 2 years! But she's got to make a decision.. who is Elizabeth going to vote for? And even though Tia & Maria have become good friends this year, the competition gets intense when they fight for the scholarship that could change their future. And possibly even their friendship.
I think this is a pretty good book!

I think this book is really good! I thought some parts were boring me but not to death. It's about the Lydia G. Senate Scholarship. Tia, Melissa, Maria and 2 other girls are nominated. Liz is stuck and so is Ken. Liz can't choose either Tia and Maria while Ken is trying to vote for Melissa and Maria. I think Tia had a point in the back of the book about the test of friendship. It sort of reminded me about my freinds. I wouldn't spoil who won the scholarship but read it! :)
not bad

This book wasn't as good as the others. Maria, Tia and Liz are up for an award. Guess who wins and it's not Liz. But at least the Will storyline is interesting.
It was okay

I thought Straight Up was an okay SY book, not the best, and not the worst. It revolves around a scholarship from Ms. Senate. Tia, Maria, and Melissa (plus 2 other girls) get nominated. Not Liz which really upsets her. But she is picked to be a judge as is Ken, so things get pretty confusing. There are some cool moments in the book such as when Maria and Melissa are going at it in the hallway and Tia breaks them up. Jade starts to talk to Evan and her dad shows up so she is in a bad situation. I won't tell anymore, but it is worth it too read, even though Jessica is barely mentioned, or Conner.
