Book Description

From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8AJohnny and the gang are back in the fifth book about the "He-Man Women Haters Club." This time, Wolfgang has deserted his fellow members and started his own club in a beauty parlor. When Jerome strays from the He-Man group after visiting the salon, Steven, alias Johnny Chesthair, knows he must take action. However, he gets more than he bargains for when he allows a girl to join their ranks. With its fast pace and snappy dialogue, this book will not disappoint fans of the series. New readers may find the introduction of so many characters a bit confusing and might want to read the previous titles first.AMary M. Hopf, Los Angeles Public Library

Gr. 3^-7. In the fifth and final installment of the He-Man Women Haters Club series, former club leader Wolf has started his own club; and Stephen, Jerome, Ling, and Cecil are shocked to learn not only that its membership is exclusively girls but also that the new club is headquartered in, of all unmanly places, a beauty parlor. The boys soon learn that aromatherapy, pedicures, hairstyling, and head massages are powerful lures, as Jerome is seduced by the world of beauty. Determined to get him back, the remaining members of the He-Man Women Haters Club resort to a drastic measure: letting a girl into their own group. But when the plan backfires and their manly clubroom takes on a suspiciously feminine aura, it's time for real action. Maybe it's time the boys learned the fine and delicate art of compromise between the sexes--or not. As always, the strengths of this quirky series are the tough-guy dialogue, tone, and edgy observations, all from a kid's perspective. Lynch's presentation of the boys' seesawing view of girls as enemies or attractions is dead-on, as is his portrayal of the ties of friendship that bind--and survive even the toughest tests in the end.
