Customer Reviews

Great for young teens!

Does being thin really make all the difference? When Gretchen says good-bye to "Hippo Hubbard", she becomes the "new improved" Gretchen Hubbard. She actually starts to enjoy shopping for new clothes and even catches the eye of a cute fifteen-year-old boy who is making a movie nearby. Why didn't anyone notice her before? A good story with morals applicable to today.
