Hold on Tight (Hannah Montana)

Customer Reviews:

If you have seen the episode..........2007-04-22

... don't read the book. CAUTION, SPOILIERS!!! Overall, it was a good book. Part one tells the story of how Miley is paired up with Oliver in drama class to do a love scene. (kissing is included) Oliver and Miley practice at her house after school. Oliver is HORRIBLE at acting. He tells Miley he has stage fright, and a story along with it. Then he goes home. Meanwhile, Miley tells her dad about how awful Oliver is at acting, and how she wants to bail on him. Just then, Oliver comes through the door. Miley doesn't notice and keeps on talking about how horrible he is. Her dad tells her to turn around and she sees a shocked Oliver who leaves in anger. That night, Hannah Montana (Miley is Hannah Montana, but only Oliver, Lilly, and her family know) has to perform the country song,and forgets the words. She messes up the song. The next day, her dad signs her up to sing on a live show as Hannah, and she is afraid she'll mess up again. She does, but Oliver is right there, and backs her up. The two become friends again. This book is great, but it is a waste of time to read if you have seen the episode. I have, so that is why I only gave it four stars. The second part is the episode, "On The Road Agian," which I have also seen.

Book Description

College on the Horizon

She’s the bold, free-spirited type. She’s young, she’s fun, and she’s following God. She’s Sierra Jensen—Christy Miller’s good friend—in her senior year of high school with college fast approaching! In this fourth volume of the popular Sierra Jensen series, Sierra’s life becomes a roller coaster of decisions as she strives to Hold on Tight through choices about friendship, honesty, and college. Then, with high school graduation Closer Than Ever , she eagerly plans for Paul’s visit and can’t wait to know where everyone will be going to college. Finally, in Take My Hand , a misunderstanding with Paul means Sierra must start college hurt and confused. Is the damage to their relationship as final as it feels?

Christy Miller knows a good friend when she meets her,

and so will you— Sierra Jensen is better than ever!

Hold On Tight

Decisions, decisions. That’s all Sierra’s life is lately. Eager to escape the stress, she can’t wait to join her brother and a few friends on a road trip as they visit a university in Southern California and tack on a day at an amusement park. It’ll be great! But right from the start, things go wrong. And suddenly Sierra’s trip is full of more twists and turns than any roller coaster. There’s only one way to handle a wild ride like this: hold on tight, trust God to keep her safe—and scream for all she’s worth.

Closer Than Ever

Paul is coming home! What’s more, he’s coming to Sierra’s graduation party. She spends every spare moment planning—after all, his visit has to be perfect. Then, more good news! Sierra and Randy are accepted into Rancho Corona University . Sierra couldn’t be happier—until she hears Vicki hasn’t received an acceptance letter. Does that mean Sierra and her friends won’t be in college together? But the worst news of all comes on graduation night. There’s been a terrible accident. With limited information, Sierra fears the worst. Can she let go and trust her dreams to God?

Take My Hand

What a year! Not only is Sierra starting college, but her older sister, Tawni, is engaged—to Paul’s older brother, Jeremy! As the two families prepare for the wedding, Sierra’s excitement grows. At last, she and Paul will be together—face-to-face! But their longed-for reunion is marred by a costly misunderstanding that turns Paul away and sends Sierra off to college hurt and confused. Only the gentle wisdom of Sierra’s good friend, Christy Miller, helps her face a difficult decision. But is it too late for Sierra and Paul?

Story Behind the Book

“After writing the twelve-book Christy Miller series for teens, a new teen character showed up on the pages of the final novel. Her name was Sierra Jensen, and she was such a compelling character that readers began asking for a series about Sierra in order to hear more about her life choices. Our family had just moved to Portland at the time, and I found it easy to picture a sixteen-year-old like Sierra shopping at the local vintage clothing stores, hanging out with friends at a garage band concert, and serving at the homeless shelter on weekends.” —Robin Jones Gunn

Customer Reviews:

A satisfying read!.......2006-07-07

This collection includes the first three books in the Sierra Jensen series written by Robin Jones Gunn.

Only You, Sierra introduces sixteen-year-old Sierra. Flying home from a mission trip in the UK, Sierra has met several new friends, including Katie and Christy, who readers of Robin's Christy Miller series will recognize. Normally outgoing and adventurous, Sierra is surprised to feel anxiety about her family's move to Portland, Oregon during the time she was away. A new home, new school, and potential new love interest challenge Sierra to reevaluate beliefs about herself that she has long taken for granted.

In Your Dreams finds Sierra watching over Granna Mae for a few days while her family is out of town. While it's difficult for Sierra to see her Granna's memory come and go, what seems to be a simple responsibility becomes more than Sierra bargains for when Granna Mae receives a call saying she needs immediate surgery. Meanwhile, Sierra tries to find a part-time job and wonders why, when she was the most popular girl at her old school, she is having such a difficult time making new friends in Portland.

Don't You Wish takes Sierra and her sister Tawni to spend Easter break at the beach with Christy, Katie, and their friends. When Tawni hits it off immediately with Jeremy, and even Katie pairs off with Antonio, an Italian exchange student, Sierra struggles with being jealous and feeling left out. She wants a boyfriend too. She tries to have fun and even learns to surf. But when Sierra witnesses Christy and Todd, to her the perfect couple, going through a difficult time in their relationship, she realizes everyone has struggles in their life. And she learns, as 1 Tim 6:6 states, that godliness with contentment is the greatest gain.

"Have you ever felt as if you were caught between two lives? The one you're living, and the one you wish you were living?" Sierra asks Christy.

Armchair Interviews says: Readers of all ages will understand Sierra's feelings and be ministered to by the timeless truths God reveals to her throughout this collection.

Book Description

BASED ON A TRUE STORY

In a land occupied by foreign powers and torn by confusion and conflict, a mother seeks to weave her family and her past into a fabric that will not tear.

Their Lives Were Woven by Wars and Wilderness Places, and Tied by the Peace of Family and Faith.

As the 1840s bring conflict to the Pacific Northwest’s rugged Columbia Country, new challenges face Marie Dorion Venier Toupin: the wife, mother, and Ioway Indian woman who crossed the Rocky Mountains with the Astor Expedition, the first big fur trapping expedition after Lewis and Clark’s. On French Prairie in the newly forming Oregon Territory, Marie strives to meet the needs of her conflict-ridden neighbors: British settlers and Americans, missionaries and disease-stricken natives, fur trappers and French Canadian farming families, and the surviving natives of the region.

At the same time, as a mother, Marie must weave together the threads of an unraveling family. One daughter compares and judges as she seeks to find her place; another reaches for elusive evidence of her mother’s love. Marie’s memories are threatened with the emergence of a figure from the past. In the midst of this turmoil, Marie discovers an empowering spiritual truth: Unconditional love can shed light on even the darkest places in the heart.

Not as well-liked as others.......2006-09-06

After reading the "All Together In One Place", I was expecting a lot more from the Tender Ties series. It's not that they aren't particularly good, they're just not as good as the others of Jane Kirkpatrick's that I've read. The timelines are a little harder to follow because they sometimes skip ahead months and even years. Like I said, it's not that these aren't good books, they just aren't quite what I've come to expect from her.

Kinship and Courage series.......2006-07-15

I've read the first two books of this series (all my library has). These are the first two books I've read by this author. I really enjoyed them! I read a lot and she is going to be one of my new favorite authors! Now I've got to get that third book!!

Hold Tight the Thread .......2006-04-09

I found Marie Dorian to be a very strong woman, which was often found in that era. She needed to be strong, because of her children and the need to stand up to her husband for the sake of her children. For her to take on that trip, in order not to be left behind, and for her children to be near their father was quite extrordinary. The discription of the land and historical events that took place during all three novels was like taking the trip right along with her. I live near where she ended up settling and have visited the area, so I feel a kinship with her. Janes ability to make you feel like you are part of the book is a real talent. I felt like I was a bystander watching the trip enfold. I have read all her books and this series is my all time favorite. But I love them all and look forward to all of them as she writes more! This is an author to keep track of and get on the list for all future releases.

inspiring.......2005-12-10

Jane's books have always held my attention. I am not a great reader. I did not grow up reading. These books capture me in a world that is unfamiliar but yet so familiar. I read and carry the story around daily as if I was living in the history of it all. Most of the stories get right to my heart, however, this particular one has been a tear jerker as I have two sons of which Paul and Baptiste remind me of. One of which is not gone but lost to me emotionally. This book has helped me to understand my mistakes and let God heal me. I also learned I can only put my sons in HIS hands. I thank Jane for her insight, which is God driven and Blessed.

Great series.......2005-08-19

A msut have for all history buffs. Best historically based novels I have read. Usually do not read a book twice, but I think I will. This author does fantastic searches for her books.
A must have.

Book Description

This magnificent novel, Marie, Marie, Hold on Tight (the title borrowed from Eliot's "The Wasteland") is dark, intense, impossible to put down. This book signifies the kind of literary work sadly ignored by the mainstream press and deserves a wide readership. Densely written, vivid in its characters, we have riveting suspense from an amazing writer offering brilliance and artistic nuance in a book that you'll never forget.

Marie, Marie, Hold On Tight.......2005-06-25

This novel is riveting from start to finish. Marie, the teenage protagonist is so well drawn and compelling, I had to stay with her to the end.

There are few contemporary novels which cross genres so effectively, and this one did just that. Not only is it a literary story filled with georgeous language, it's a horror story too. Brown Davidson does not shrink from exploring all the dark corners of what Marie must endure. Like the best of Stephan King, Brown Davidson forces us to experience the unspeakable.And it makes for an unforgettable read. As a literary novel, comparisons can be made to Janet Fitch's "White Oleander." Both present powerful female adolescent protagonists who must live by their wits.

Plan ahead. You won't put this book down until you finish it.

as taut as the fine tightrope Marie is walking.......2005-05-10

Reviewed by Katie Weekley for Small Spiral Notebook

Within the few chapters of debut novel, Marie, Marie, Hold on Tight, Terri Brown-Davidson wallops the reader with the two big tragedies of her narrator: the death of her baby sister, Alyssa Ellen, and the ongoing abuse by her mother. What else could possibly happen that could keep us reading? Even Marie seems incapable of imagining any change or improvement in her life. She seems to turn to her boyfriend, Dell for help, telling him:

"I love you too," I say softly, tracing his cheek with one finger. "But if you tell anyone about my mother, I promise I'll never speak to you again."

I know he believes me because he shuts up quickly, not angry but despairing: I'm excellent at reading emotions - Momma's given me years of practice.

Marie has spent the years since Alyssa's death, tiptoeing on the edge, nervously anticipating any change in her mother's mood, yet loyally standing by, defying anyone who says she deserves to be treated better. Marie understands the restlessness of her mother, the woman who before clocking in at the meat-packing plant every day, sits gazing out at a field of rippling veldt, only able to escape in her mind, and only for a few hours a day. Marie fears she may be cursed with the same wanderlust, impossible to fulfill.

Terri Brown-Davidson's writing is as taut as the fine tightrope Marie is walking. In a situation where the protagonist seems to have no hope for change, Brown-Davidson manages to maintain a gripping narrative, densely weaving Marie's past and present. Brown-Davidson has previous published a book of poetry, and while this influence is evident in her lyrical, visual style, she has deftly matched the richness of her writing with an cold, economic presentation of events, telling us exactly what we need to know about Marie.

This novel is about the dead-end cycle of abuse, and how difficult it is to escape the damage done. And although it is not a happy story, it is strangely optimistic, because only when Marie is faced with the worst situation yet, does she find the strength in herself to believe that she does not have accept the same destiny as her mother.

A remarkable tale of light amidst darkness.......2004-12-02

Terri Brown-Davidson is such a masterful writer that you're reminded of the power of words on every stunning page. But she's more than a poet of language and imagery. She's an artist of the human psyche. It's a dark tale about a girl who suffers the most horrific abuse and is unable to escape. And yet, there's a light in this child that can't be extinguished. Her secret world of hope revolves first around art, and then a young man who falls in love with her and sees the beauty of her soul. So as dark and haunting as this book is, it ultimately tells the tale of that vital spark of humanity that stays lit even in the direst circumstances. To me, "Marie, Marie, Hold on Tight" is a book about hope.

Marie, Marie, an amazing novel........2004-11-12

Marie, Marie Hold On Tight
by Terri Brown-Davidson

Terri Brown-Davidson's novel Marie, Marie Hold On Tight is not for the squeamish and should, perhaps, have been titled, Reader, Reader, Hold On Tight. But, despite the depths of depravity that are explored a shaft of light shines througout the novel. Marie's is a story of cruelty, insanity, incest, and murder. Her's is also a story of love and survival. A reader with courage will know and understand Marie and hope, maybe pray, that she will endure. Read this book and be rewarded. Mrs. Brown-Davidson's writing is poetry disguised as prose.

Five stars.

Terri Brown-Davidson's Marie, Marie, Hold on Tight.......2004-11-10

Terri Brown-Davidson's haunting first novel Marie, Marie, Hold On Tight, dark as a Grecian tragedy, illuminates the twisted relationships of the beautiful, but unstable, Jennifer Prescott and her daughters, Marie and Alyssa.

When Dan, Jennifer's lowlife poster-boy of a lover, returns after a six-year absence and takes over, teen-aged Marie, the gifted, but alienated, anguished - and inescapably unreliable - narrator must face the disarray and grief of her childhood; and confront her own crime as well as the inexplicable crimes of her wayward mother; a mother often indifferent and careless of her daughters, yet magical:

But then, we all loved the globe. Worshipped the globe, as well as Momma's animation that resulted from her playing with it. She'd spin it with one elegant nail, slam the finger down on a continent before it slowed. We'd squeal, excited as she was when it paused, though we knew that most times Momma cheated, tried to make it stop on Africa.

The writing is tight -- evocative, compelling -- it's difficult to select a sentence to convey the effect. Perhaps the following paragraph wherein Marie, convinced she is herself ugly (despite signs the blight is ending), knows her mother is beautiful, a view reinforced by the reactions of strangers:

We glide through double doors, Momma preceding me, and eyes - many eyes - move toward her emerald-suited splendor; just loud enough for me to detect, a man murmurs to his wife, "My God: what hair," and I sense Momma grinning beside me, pleased beyond reason as she tosses snack after snack into the shopping cart--

Haven't you known women like Jennifer, women who shop as greedily as they devour attention? But Jennifer is inscrutible, complex; and like the best of mothers tries to prepare Marie for life by taking her along not only to the market but to more than one workplace:

. . . at the Kawasaki factory . . . hunched over a table littered with bolts, screws, her shoulders bent into an "S" as she worked along the conveyer-belt, her fingers spasming, sweating as she struggled to keep up . . . the other women older, fatter, coarse, their faces lined with grime, their gray hair tucked into spiderweb nets, their faces forced blossomings of moles, sun-toughened skin: they hated my mother because she was young - because she was beautiful - . . . shoes tapped out the rhythms of "Hound Dog" as they sang and joked and laughed, their fat fingers never missing a screw; and when Mother sagged over the conveyer belt, her knees buckling, the teasing increased, the vitriol sharpened, shouts of "Prescott, Prescott, where're your balls?" filled the long gray room, and still the belt rolled over, rolled on as Momma quietly fainted and two tough, muscular women stepped in hastily, pulled her away from the line.

Marie reasons her mother's gallant efforts to stay afloat are a way of apologizing - although for what is going on at home there can be no apology - of demonstrating she can do no better and the unspoken hope Marie will have a better life than her own or that of Alyssa, of whom neither can bear to think. Jennifer's job at the abattoir is clearly the end of the line as far as financial independence goes.

The meat-packing plant is huge and square and gray, like an enormous box that leaks sweat, water trickling down its outer walls. There are some windows set into the box, but they show only an inner darkness, shadowy shapes, people moving within, so quiet they might, themselves, be a dream. Steam rises from several pipes that push up like thick fingers from the roof of the plant. Grabbing Momma's hand as we approach, I feel a weird excitement though Momma doesn't look pleased.

And Marie will have a better life, if she can get past the horrific scene six years ago when Dan left. If she can come to terms with her mother's subsequent actions. If she can stay with Dell, the young poet who is her soul mate, and whose love may help her escape the past to become the artist she is meant to be.

*the title is from T. S. Eliot's The Wasteland

Not like her others!.......2006-05-12

I got this book b/c I'm a Deborah Smith fan, she's one of my favorite authors but this is one of her earlier books and it shows. This story is about a former beauty queen with an IQ of over 140 who has turned in her crown for some unknown reason and years later she becomes mayor of a small town, she meets a journalist and since she has a secret to hide, she doesn't trust him or herself. I found the storyline simplistic and the beauty queen, a fool, even if she had a high IQ. Just because someone has a high IQ doesn't mean they have any common sense. That was the problem with this heroine.

I've been reading Harlequin books for a very long time. I especially like reading books by most of the popular authors but this book by Cait London was so disappointing that I could not finish it. The female protagonist, Jessica Sterling, is so boring and unpredictable (not in a good way!), that you cannot feel any sympathy for her; the male protagonist is a little bit more interesting, but not enough to make me continue reading. I will continue reading London's books even though this one did not meet her normal standards.

Inspired by true events, Hold Me Tight is a moving and powerful novel. An author's note provides further information about kidnapping and the Amber Plan programs that are in use today to help communities find abducted children.

Customer Reviews:

Really good book.......2006-08-14

This 10 year old is way better at poetry than I am. This whole book takes place in 8 weeks. Her father leaves Essie, her brother Dale, and her pregnant mother. The boy who sits in front of her in class, Chris, is kidnaped. She is molested by a man who is supposed to be a family friend. Needless to say she has a lot of reason to want to be held.
I really liked this book because even though it was easy to read it also dealt with a lot of issues that are tough like divorce. So it wasn't just one of those books you read fast and your done, it makes you think. I think everyone should read this.

Book Description

As graduation draws near, Sierra's life becomes a roller coaster of decisions as she loops, dips, and swerves through choices about friendship, honesty, and scariest of all college.

Planning a college-scouting trip to Southern California with a few friends, Sierra hopes to stop at an amusement park on the way back. But word spreads, and now the whole gang wants to go! There's room for only so many people, and Sierra's afraid of hurting those she asks to stay home.

During the trip to California, twists and turns keep Sierra off-balance, including a skateboarding accident, a broken-down car, and even a surprise encounter with old friends.

But the concerns winding through Sierra's mind are bigger than the twists and turns of any roller coaster. With college fast approaching, Sierra worries how her choices will affect her high school relationships. And should she wait to hear where Paul plans to go to college before making her decision?

Nearing the end of the trip, Sierra decides the best way to handle a wild ride is to hold on tight, trust God to keep her on track and scream for all she's worth.

Robin Jones Gunn is the author of The Christy Miller Series, which has sold more than 1 million copies. Get acquainted with Sierra's friend Christy Miller by reading all 12 exciting books.

This was one of my favourite Sierra books because she goes college hunting to California and sees her friends from England. If you're obsessed with the Christy Miller series, you'll love this Sierra instalment. Robyn Jones Gunn is my favourite author-I own almost all her books. I started reading her books in grade 5 and I still love them and am in grade 12. Anyway, this is a really fun Sierra. Peace out.
