Product Description
Written teen to teen as a first-person narrative, this is not a book about the Columbine shootings - instead, it's a story of faith, told in Rachel's own words. The book includes first person narratives, journal entries, drawings from Rachel's diary, and notes from her parents and friends at Columbine High School. Additionally, "me pages" (what makes me angry, what I'm aftraid of) encourage teens to explore issues central to their lives and faith. Highlighting Rachel's faith journey from the time she became a Christian, through her joys and doubts, her hopes and dreams, this story is a triumphant testimony that teens will treasure.

 A Must Read In The Rachel Scott Series December 2, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you're not satisfied with reading what's in the newspaper about Columbine, you need this book.
Mixed in with actual exerpts from Rachel's diary, the author and Beth Nimmo (Rachel's mom) fill in the missing pieces consistent with her diary entries.
Rachel shows herself to be human (anger, ect.) with the same questions a lot of teenagers have. The answers she decides are real in her life may surprise the reader. Rachel is not some super saint, but a real teen with real questions.
The editorial questions about Rachel's musings on Anne Frank and not living to the age of marriage are not fantasy created by the authors, but recollections of conversations with Rachel by close friends and family.
I would additionally recommend "Rachel's Tears", and "Rachel Smiles" by Rachel's mother, Beth, and her father Darrell Scott.
 Good overall, but not great. November 12, 2007

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. The only thing I am going to be critical about is that there are only a few pages of Rachel's journals, with a lot of fictionalized filler written as Rachel's perspective by another author. It would have been great if there were more pages of her journals, in color, with minimal commentary. However this book is geared towards younger readers, who might have needed more guidance in reading about Rachel's life. This would have detracted me, as an adult, from purchasing the book; except that this is the only book in existance with scanned writings by any of the victims, which piqued my interest. Therefore the minimal amount of actual writings by Rachel is a disappointment.
There are some lined pages in here with inspiration for starting your own journal, but to be honest, I would get my own blank book and not write in someone else's. But it might be good for the younger readers.
I also recommend Brooks Brown's book, which has the most details of any Columbine book out there. He talked about his friendship with Rachel in it, which was really sweet.

I highly recommend this book. Based on her real journals, you feel by the end of this book like you knew Rachal Scott personally. Even though it's not the exact journal entries, Beth Nimmo, Rachal's mother collaborated with the writer, and you get the sense that Rachal's true character was captured. This book brings to life a girl mature and inciteful beyond her years. I was humbled and deeply moved by her total commitment to living out her faith in Christ. I appreciate especially her honesty. Her story brings to life the loss of such a beautiful young woman. You don't need to be a teenage girl to read this book, but every teenager should read it.Thank you Beth for allowing us to walk along side her in her last years.
Great for teenage girls June 29, 2006

I bought this book for my 16 yr. old daughter and her mind set has changed. After reading this book, all on her own she started journaling and recently asked to be baptised. I thank GOD for Rachel Joy Scott and her parents.
