I first got given "Just as long as we're together" and after that, the follow-on "Here's to you Rachel Robinson" I found both books excellent.
Rachel Robinson is a straight A* student and is enjoying life she begins to have problems at home and things just get worse when her brother is excluded from boarding school and comes back home. Her brother seems to always be mocking her and ruining her life and the only question on Rachel's mind is why? This is a brilliant book and is a definite must read along with "Just as long as we're together" I reccomend this book highly to all girls.
A wonderful book! - Rated 
This book is the second one after Just as Long as we're Together. The compassion and trust of the main character Rachel Robinson is very high. Her older brother Charles is nasty and a big bully. Rachel and her older sister Jessica though stick together to try and fight the nasty older and younger brother. Will Jesica and Rachel be able to get their own back ? Find out by reading it!

"Here's To You, Rachel Robinson" follows on from "Just As Long As We're Together", narrated by Rachel's best friend Stephanie. Rachel is a straight-A student, talented musician and incredibly gifted 13-year-old. But she's also endearingly human, and that's what you'll love about her. Rachel remains my favourite fictional character to date, and I first read this book more than five years ago. Rachel's brother Charles is a bit of a troublemaker. Although his comments on paper don't sound overly dramatic, as other reviewers have mentioned, when you imagine living with someone so hostile you understand their reactions. Either that, or Judy Blume is commenting on how a perfect family react to an average teenager and how they really can't cope in the way that others might be able to. It's up for debate. Charles returns home from boarding school and sends family life out of kilter, but there are other things going on in Rachel's life. Too many extracurricular activities threaten to overwhelm her, and she has developed a crush on Charles's tutor Paul. Meanwhile Jeremy Dragon (of the famed chartreuse dragon jacket, as anyone who's read "Just As Long..." will remember) is developing an interest in her. I loved this book. I still love it. I strongly recommend that you buy it for the overachiever in your life. Trust me, they'll appreciate it.

Dear Readers, You have to know something before you read this review. I'm not a great book - lover. Oh well, I read this book anyway and this is what i thought of it..... This book follows on from another book by Judy Blume which is called 'Just as Long as We're Together' so I recommend that you read that book first. Once you've read that book, you will keep the plot (which is very good) in your mind so you don't have to read them straight after one another. Anyway, this book is about a young teenage girl called Rachel. She is the A* student of her class and has always been the perfect one in her family, but, this doesn't mean that she doesn't have her fair share of problems......Her brother, Charles is the trouble - maker in the Robinson Family and is trying to make Rachel's life a living hell. The thing is, no matter how clever Rachel is, she just can't figure out why... This book is written as Rachel and 'Just as Long as We're Together' is written as Rachel's friend, Steph. This book is great which you can't actually say that often these days and I would recomend it to all of my mates! Thanks for reading this review Amazon readers! By the way, just as a final note, this book is NOT recomended by me for BOYS! I hope you buy and enjoy this book, you'll love it! Love From Kt xXx ENJOY! :)
read this if you have read 'just as long as were together' - Rated 
This is a book following 'Just as long as we're together' it is from the view of Rachel Robinson one in a group of three friends.The previous book sees things from Stephanies point of view however they are very different people and this is rachels view a year afterwards.Rachel is a perfect child in the perfect family.....with an exception, Charles her brother. Charles has been sent away to a boarding school because of his behaviour and his family even take it to the extent of hiring a physicatrist. I can see how his behaviour is upsetting but to an average family his comments would upset but are also quite witty. This book is about Rachel's life with friends and how although she seems perfect there are a lot of things she hides. She finds it hard to fit in as she is so clever she is moved up at school and many people are jealous of her. Everyone loves her brother..when they dont have to live with him that is! This is generally an all round good book with some occasional corney moments but i would recommend it. Surprisingly it has some bad language but only once. I'd read this after 'Just as long as we're together'
