An excellent coming-of-age story - there's a sense of bittersweet nostalgia with a very dark undercurrent. Believable characters, although the main character can be a little hard to sympathise with sometimes.

I read this book many moons ago, in junior high. I loved it. This was the first book that was assigned to us to read has a class for dicussion. It has remained one of my favorite books. Of course the story stays fresh in my mind because everytime I see the movie is on tv I watch it.

Easy, fun read. Especially appreciated her chapter on motherhood / nursing and the guilt trip that moms get for formula-feeding.

4.5 stars see the full review at http://fireandicephoto.blogspot.com/2... Quigley and Ann are in their last year of high school and on a mission to improve themselves just in time for prom. Their Betterment Plan includes eating right, exercise and plenty of off the wall jobs to pay for the perfect dress. The girls find themselves in a frozen pizza factory making artistic creations with sauce and pepperoni, sitting in as the dead man at a mystery murder dinner and even part of a float in their local parade. Quigley always seems to get the short end of the stick in every finagled job, so she is hesitant when Ann's world famous designer mom, Victoria Parisi, offers them a gig as models for her fashion design class at the local college. Quigley is everything your average student, not overly concerned with her body or standing out. So it's no surprise when her perfect beautiful friend Ann lands all of the votes for first pick as model in the class. Zander sides with Quigley and in his humble sincere way slowly wins his way to her heart. Meanwhile, Ann is busy with Lance, the Spikester, who has a past of his own. But both design class boys have competition awaiting them at the High School. As a reader you'll never know until the very end if Ann picks T-Shirt, the local rich boy who wears his daily motto on his tee or if Quigley will turn arch nemesis self-proclaimed art King David into more than just an enemy. Author Aimee Ferris will have you laughing out loud with the funny, awkward situations going on and the richly developed characters. But hidden beneath the pre-prom fluff are many real life lessons about choosing a college, making amends with parents and finding yourself amidst peer pressure. She does a great job of teaching that bad choices have life long consequences and you can't judge a person by your first impressionWill Work For Prom Dress is a clean, light read that I would recommend to all readers. It offered me a nice break from heavy writing and I loved the artistic elements of photography, drawing and dress design sprinkled into the plot. I can't wait for more from Ms. Freeman. Her blog alone is enough to have you in stitches as you travel back to the scary days of big hair in YA promapalooza. Thanks so much to Goodman Media for sending me such a fun pick.

We are all really enjoying Maj Lindman's books (either about Snipp, Snapp, and Snurr OR Flicka, Ricka, and Dicka). This book was about the boys planning and carrying out the hard work to prepare a surprise for their mother while she was traveling for the week. The end of the book shows them all sitting together in front of the fire: cozy and homey.
I've been thinking a lot about how children's fiction can play a role in the moral development of a child. Ibbotson writes in a variety of genres, but even her most humorous and farcical stories always have a particular moral clarity about them. She reminds me of Dahl in that way. The baddies are lazy, selfish, greedy, grasping -- and usually rich. The goodies are kind, honest, brave, resourceful, modest and hardworking. They yearn for connectedness, not things. Like many of Ibbotson's protagonists, Maia is an orphan -- and more than anything else she longs for family and a sense of belonging. In some ways, this story reminds me of what Burnett does in The Secret Garden: a young girl is taken into a hostile landscape and she brings together a group of people who have all been lonely and isolated. Although Maia doesn't tame the Amazon in the same way that Mary Lennox tames the garden, she certainly does find a home -- and friends -- there. (I'm sure that Ibbotson was paying Burnett homage, because one of the subplots is an amusing twist on the "Little Lord Fauntleroy" story.) Having said that, this is an original story -- partly because of the unusual setting -- and one of the best-loved in the Ibbotson oeuvre.

A fast-paced and very intense read. I loved every second of it, and would recommend this for anyone looking for a Scandinavian crime fix similar to Stieg Larsson... except for the fact that Jo Nesbo is even better.

I love the way the author describes the self. Loathing the main characters do as they examine their own actions. We are all less than perfect and our rough edges seem to smooth as we humble ourselves.
