Book Description

September 25, 2007 9 and upThe Social Experiments of Dorie Dilts
Dorie Dilts is about to move from California to New Jersey, and instead of seeing this as the worst thing to happen to her in her 13 years, Dorie sees this as a great opportunity--an opportunity to reinvent herself as one of the popular crowd, that is. When she arrives at her new school, she immediately sets out to determine who is the most popular and how they got that way. She quickly deduces it's a group of girls whom she dubs the Holly Trinity. And the one thing that connects them is their shared experience of having gone out with and been dumped by the arrogant Grant Braddish. One she determines this, Dorie is quickly on her way with a plan to win the heart of, and then get dumped by, Grant.

Dorie soon discovers Grant isn't as arrogant as some would think and maybe she would rather be with him than with the popular girls.

5.0 out of 5 stars So much fun!, December 3, 2007
By 
Linda (Charleston, Seychelles) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Social Experiments of Dorie Dilts: Dumped by Popular Demand (Paperback)
A very funny and entertaining book, with interesting and very human characters..... Kain makes every word count, and never lets a chance to add something fun go by. Every main character had two or three quirks (loved cooking, loved old movies, loved science) that made them come alive, even the adults. The author makes you care about the lead characters; you want to go have lunch with Dorie, and who wouldn't want to take Dixie home for good! Even the hero had unexpected dimensions. I started reading this because it was a present from a friend, and ended up being soooo sorry it was over. More Dorie, more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too, February 12, 2008
This review is from: The Social Experiments of Dorie Dilts: Dumped by Popular Demand (Paperback)
Most 13-year-old girls would be devastated to learn that their family has to move across the country from sunny California to New Jersey.

But most girls aren't Dorie Dilts.

Dorie is a scientist, and a bit of a loner. She has long been observing the popular girls at school, envious of their friendships. So moving to a completely different school makes her excited, because now she has the perfect opportunity to put her scientific experiment into play.

Objectives: To get popular. Hypothesis: If she gets dumped by Grant, then she will become popular. Results: Inconclusive...perhaps?

The first in THE SOCIAL EXPERIMENTS OF DORIE DILTS, DUMPED BY POPULAR DEMAND is inventive, smart, and funny. While Dorie may be wise in all things academia, her social awkwardness is something that girls of any age can relate to.

Dorie's discovery of true friendship and the meaning of popularity will be unforgettable in this humorous novel that has more heat than an exothermic reaction!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute story about a (gasp!) smart girl, November 19, 2007
By 
T Morris (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Social Experiments of Dorie Dilts: Dumped by Popular Demand (Paperback)
This is an adorable book about a smart, strong girl who, like most of us, can't help but get caught up the popularity game. I love that Dorie is totally into science and uses it to figure out what makes certain people (like the Holly Trinity) popular.
