Free Philip Hall Likes Me. I Reckon Maybe. (The Philip Hall Trilogy Book 1) Ebooks Online
Beth Lambert has a crush on Philip Hall, who is better than she is at just about everything—or is he? Philip Hall is the handsomest, smartest, fastest boy in Miss Johnson’s class. He beats Beth Lambert in math, spelling, reading, sports . . . and she adores him. Beth suspects Philip likes her too, only she can’t quite get him to admit it. In fact, he won’t even invite her to his birthday party because he’s afraid the other boys will call him a sissy. But then Beth begins to wonder: Maybe Philip only wins because she’s letting him. Maybe she could beat him at everything. That would show Philip Hall! Because if being friends with a girl is bad . . . getting beaten by a girl is much, much worse. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Bette Greene including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.

PLOT SUMMARY:This novel, which is set in Pocahontas, Arkansas, is told from the point of view of a young girl, Elizabeth Lambert. Elizabeth, who has a crush on a classmate, Philip Hall, who doesn't yet seem interested in girls, strives to make him like her. Willing to do almost anything for Philip, Elizabeth purposely lets Philip be the best student in class. She is disappointed when Philip doesn't invite her to his birthday party, which is only for boys. Eventually, Elizabeth decides that she must concentrate on her friends and forms the Pretty Pennies club, which is in constant competition with the Tiger Hunters, the boys' club headed by Philip Hall. At the end of the novel, Elizabeth finally beats Philip in the 4-H calf-raising contest but is still not happy until she, at last, realizes that she and Philip can still be winners and be friends.ELIZABETH: Elizabeth struggles with what she thinks is her inability to be the best student in the class. She is frightened that Philip will not like her if she beats him in the calf-raising contest. After her mother suggests that maybe she is allowing herself to be "second best" so that Philip will like her, she denies it, but as the novel progresses, Elizabeth begins to strive to do her best, even if that means beating Philip and losing his friendship, and she eventually beats him in the 4-H calf-raising contest.PHILIP HALL: Philip Hall is an eleven year old boy who is so concerned with what his friends think that he shuns his best friend, Elizabeth, when the boys are around. At the beginning of the novel, Philip takes advantage of Elizabeth's affection by letting her do his stable chores for him and then fails to invite her to his birthday party.
