Beauty Queens

By Libba Bray

Book Overview

From bestselling, Printz Award-winning author Libba Bray, a desert island classic.

Survival. Of the fittest.The fifty contestants in the Miss Teen Dream Pageant thought this was going to be a fun trip to the beach, where they could parade in their state-appropriate costumes and compete in front of the cameras. But sadly, their airplane had another idea, crashing on a desert island and leaving the survivors stranded with little food, little water, and practically no eyeliner.What's a beauty queen to do? Continue to practice for the talent portion of the program - or wrestle snakes to the ground? Get a perfect tan - or learn to run wild? And what should happen when the sexy pirates show up? Welcome to the heart of non-exfoliated darkness. Your tour guide? None other than Libba Bray, the hilarious, sensational, Printz Award-winning author of A Great and Terrible Beauty and Going Bovine. The result is a novel that will make you laugh, make you think, and make you never see beauty the same way again.

Funny and Okay

I enjoy the humor in this book, it's a weird type of humor that works for me, but aside from that I wasn't all that crazy about this book. It wasn't as bad as I've heard some people say it is, but I also didn't love it as much as others have. I did laugh a lot though, so points for that.
