[b:Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell Out of a Tree|464956|Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell Out of a Tree|Lauren Tarshis|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174980988s/464956.jpg|453360] was my favorite J title of 2007. This is a great follow-up. It's a very quick read, with a quirky design. Reminds me of a young Amelia Bedelia - Emma-Jean is extremely literal and thus has few social skills as she navigates middle school. I laughed out loud multiple times as her hijinks went on. Very sweet, true, honest humor. Great series.

Our Spock-like Emma Jean doesn't really fall in love in this sequel, which was a bit disappointing. It was a very quick read, and not very satisfying. Still cute, though.

My daughter’s review:
I really liked that it had two points of view, it helped me understand all the friendships. Both sides of the book where connected because the two girls are friends.
You could picture all of it in your head, because there was a lot of detail on the characters and plots.
Very fun

Emma-Jean is like a 7th grade girl version of Spock. And if you know how much I love Spock, you'll know I loved this book. But even beyond Emma-Jean's logical observations of her classmates, I loved this book because the other characters brought back such vivid memories of my own experiences in middle school. The book was funny and touching, albeit a bit predictable. I enjoyed it immensely.

Cute... I can see where MS girls like this series. You don't need to have read the first book, although there's enough enticement to make you want to. The plot is a bit predictable (what is it with the outcast and the janitor being friends?), but overall it's a sweet book.

I enjoyed this, although not as much as the first one. From the beginning, I was bothered by Emma-Jean's voice as it sounded far more "spock-like" than I remembered. But she, and the other characters, grew on me. I especially liked how Colleen came to here realization that she could be "colleen-er" without relying on the affirmation of a boy's interest in her. A nice message for upper elementary and middle grade girls.

Emma-Jean Lazarus is back and everyone's got spring fever. The Spring Fling is coming up and all her new friends seem to be able to think about is who to ask to the dance. When a mysterious note is placed in Colleen's locker, Emma-Jean is tasked with figuring out which boy wrote it. Emma-Jean prides herself on her logic, which is why she's so surprised to discover that she's got spring fever, too!
I really enjoyed this sequel to Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell Out of a Tree. Emma-Jean is an interesting character and the story has a lot of heart. I think this could probably stand alone, but you'll probably enjoy it more if you've read the first book.

An enjoyable but not particularly memorable sequel to [b:Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell Out of a Tree|464956|Emma-Jean Lazarus Fell Out of a Tree|Lauren Tarshis|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174980988s/464956.jpg|453360]. As with the first book, I enjoyed the contrast between how Emma-Jean views her 7th grade peers, almost like a researcher in the jungle, and how Colleen sees them through a more emotional lens. The book is short and funny, and I think many kids will either sympathize with Emma-Jean (I would have) or find her perspective entertaining. Although the characters are 7th graders, I think this would appeal to slightly younger readers looking ahead to and curious about the world of middle school.
