Editorial Reviews

Review

"Entertaining and insightful, with an engaging protagonist whose droll narrative bursts through soap-opera superficialities touching on familiar adolescent concerns.  . . . An adept blend of spoof and heart in a fast-paced, lively read."  —Booklist on Ruby Parker Hits the Small Time
