Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)"Pretty Is" addresses many of the issues facing middle school girls in a light hearted way--but it will make you think after you close the book. Fitting in, having a dorky sister, losing your friends are enough challenges for any girl entering middle school. But if a new "friend" challenges you to commit an act of revenge--and you do--you have created more layers of problems. Add to the mix getting discovered, by said dorky sister, and then left with all the blame because new "friend" is gone for the summer--and the result is a story to appeal to young teen age girls. Is this great literature? Not really, but it earns five stars because of what it does. It is perfect for reluctant readers and those looking for something new for middle school girls. Even better, read it aloud with your daughter and get a discussion going. As a middle school teacher, I have personally observed how middle school is probably more difficult for girls than boys due to the heavy social pressures. Here is a book that brings many of these concerns out for another look.
