Tall,Thin and Blonde- An Insight on Popularity

This is a amazing book about a girl who finds she's alot happier at being who she is than she could ever be being 'Miss Perfect Teenager'a girl who is gorgeous, size six and who all the boys want to go out with. I really enjoyed reading this book and it is a heartfelt account on the average tenage girl.

EXCELLENT

At first sight, one might think that this book is shallow, vapid, and stupid. However, when one looks deeper, they shall see that this is a book that laments on the important qualities of a friendship. It shows that a true friend is not one who's "popular" or "all that" but one whom you have a mutual respect and fondness for. This was one of the best books that I have ever read and I would recommend it to anyone especially pre-teens who may not fully understand the true meaning of friendship.

Shallow Girls

Tabitha HarrisSheldon,Dylan. Tall, Thin, and Blonde Massuchusetts: Candlewick, 1993.Shallow GirlsWhen I saw this book in the library I thought twice about checking it out; because it sounds like it would be about shallow, mindless girls. It was actually a good book though and I would recommend it to anyone! I felt like I could relate to the characters in this book and that's what kept me interested in it. This book was about two girls who are best friends, their names are Jennifer and Amy. They are about to discover a whole new world when they begin ninth grade.Amy wants to get a fresh start to high school so she drops a few pounds and gets a perm. Jennifer on the other hand isn't worried what people think of her and she can't believe that Amy is either because she never cared about people's opinions before. Amy talks to Jennifer while they are walking to school but then the popular girls start to notice her and ask her to hang out with them. Jennifer feels left out but she makes new friends despite of Amy abandoning her. Jennifer's friends are not so popular and Amy tells her she needs to start hanging out with the "right" crowd. Amy also tells Jennifer that she could stand to lose a few pounds and that she needs to do something with her hair. So Jennifer tries to change her body image by going on a diet and dying her hair blonde. With the help of her new friends Jennifer starts to realize that if someone is your true friend you shouldn't have to change yourself in any way to make them like you. This book is definitely worth reading!
