Elementary school graduations are a bigger deal here.<br /><br />I agree about the cover. Based on how Janet was described in earlier books, I expected her to be prettier.Marianna Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17969656701576883802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176134373438082491.post-15125496409621831882016-07-24T20:38:54.355-04:002016-07-24T20:38:54.355-04:00Yeah, we had about 200 people in my year (7 and a ...Yeah, we had about 200 people in my year (7 and a half grade 8 classes in the school), and about a third were going to one high school, a third to another, and then the final third going to random different ones.

I think my 8th grade class had 80? people in it, maybe less, so it obviously wasn't a big deal for us :)Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717387924829212115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176134373438082491.post-9456122078699330042016-06-29T13:34:27.827-04:002016-06-29T13:34:27.827-04:00Yeah, the only people who cared about finishing th...Yeah, the only people who cared about finishing the 8th grade at my school were the 8th graders and they only cared because they were finally going to high school.

Also, I expected a "prettier" Janet given how she has been described jn the past books. :-))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176134373438082491.post-46719797271659229822016-06-23T08:13:05.680-04:002016-06-23T08:13:05.680-04:00Omg!

I don't remember reading many of the later books from either the SVT or SVH series. <br /><br />When I as in grade 8, we had a leaving ceremony in the morning, then a dance in the afternoon, but that was about it. One of my friends had a BBQ that evening, but someone was always having an end-of-year BBQ, so again, it really wasn't THAT big of a deal (just slightly more special than usual haha). I guess the idea is that we were all going to different high schools and when you're young, school pretty much dictates your social life. Anyone not at your school might as well be in another country haha and even in HS, with all the clubs and teams and specialized classes and just the sheer size of it, social groups changed within the first year anyways.
