Computer whiz Erin Swift is ready to start eighth grade. The Year of Humiliating Events is behind her and she’s ready to rule the school. But eighth grade comes with its own set of problems, including her first boyfriend, her first break-up, and her mom treating her more like an eight year old than an eighth grader. But as Erin’s school year once against hurdles toward disaster, a personal tragedy forces her to realize that things, and people, aren’t always as bad as they seem. “I’ll say it again: Denise Vega is a wonderful story-teller, juggling humor and uncertainty and the desperate desire to fit in so skillfully, you’ll be sucked into Erin’s world before you know it.” - Rita Lorraine “Ever funny and clever, Erin tackles eighth grade…[her] ups and downs are humanizing, entertaining, and real.” -Kirkus Reviews To share your thoughts on this book, go to the Click Here and Access Denied Blab page!

5 out of 5 stars!
“This book is a great coming of age story that takes all the usual ones to the next level..Erin’s story is unforgettable. The writing is great, the scenes are great, the characters are great, and the storyline is terrific! I read it in two sit-downs and still wanted more! I hope that in the future, there will be a third book of Erin Swift’s life of trying to survive public school.”
- Reading to Myself
“Access Denied is a sometimes comical, sometimes poignant, and always captivating portrayal of teen angst. Vega draws an authentic picture of modern middle school mayhem and how popularity can lure anyone into leading a double life.”
- Peggy Tibbetts
“Ever funny and clever, Erin tackles eighth grade…[her] ups and downs are humanizing, entertaining, and real.”
- Kirkus Reviews
“I’m always a bit wary of when adults try to talk in a teen’s voice and computers are involved. For some reason, no matter how good the rest of the story is, the computer lingo always seems to be either dated or just plain off… Luckily this book had research done as teen web speak is done pitch perfect throughout the book… I would recommend this book for 7th graders and up. Teens will enjoy this book with a computer savvy main character who’s both boy and technology crazy with a good heart.”
-Books, Movies & Chinese Food
“I am a[n] adult who enjoys reading YA and this book was extremely entertaining. As I read it, it brought me back to how absolutely angst-ridden being in high school can be. …There are some seriously funny passages, as well as some more touching and deep messages to all YA. I really enjoyed this one.”
- Bookshipper
“An enjoyable read, this book is filled with the anxieties of middle school along with the thrills of new experiences. I like that the book has some realistic choices and dilemmas in it and still manages to stay appropriate in content for teen readers. …Erin is a very likable teen and I enjoyed reading about her adventures and misadventures with both her friends, boys, and not-quite friends.”
- Enchanting Reviews “Lisa”
“…Denise Vega’s knee-slapping sense of humor and delightful story-telling abilities cast their magic spell…and people, I was hooked. …I’ll say it again: Denise Vega is a wonderful story-teller.
