I purchased this book because it was a Newberry winner. It was to be a gift for my 13 year old granddaughter. I decided to read it. It's awful! This book was given an award by grown-ups, for grown-ups. As a librarian and a widely read person, I could not imagine why this book got a medal. It was boring. The only chpater worth reading was the one about trying on the jeans. What a disappointment. I got her another present, and we will donate it to our library. On the other hand, rather than deceive people, maybe we should just discard it.
