Product Description
Luann DeGroot is a 16 year old girl who's full of spirited personality-and agonizing confusion.

Like all teens, she's happy if she can stumble through a day without totally embarrassing herself. She lives with typical parents and an annoying older brother. Luann and her best buds, Bernice and Delta, along with a lively cast of characters from Pitts School, struggle with the euphoric highs and devastating lows that torment the life of a contemporary teen. From small events (a pop quiz) to large (a daring fire rescue), Luann 3 delivers the kind of poignant, honest, amusing stories that have made Luann a reader favorite for 21 years.

Luann is featured in 400 newspapers worldwide, and LuannsRoom.com receives 80,000 hits a day. Luann consistently ranks in the top five in newspaper surveys and is often number one with female readers. Luann, the Musical, from Pioneer Drama, has been performed by hundreds of theater groups across the country.

About the Author
Winner of the 2003 National Cartoonists Society Reuben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year, Greg Evans always wanted to be a cartoonist. He grew up near Disney Studios in California, and he frequently rode his bike to the front gate, hoping for a glimpse of the great animators he admired. In 1971, Greg got a teaching degree from CalState Northridge and taught high school art. He married his college crush, Betty, and they lived in Australia for two years. Back in the states, they settled in Colorado Springs and began a family while Greg did graphics for a TV station. But his cartooning dream never died, and in 1985, daughter Karen provided the spark of inspiration that would become Luann.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful !!!, January 4, 2007

This is a great collection of the Luann comic strip. My favorite Luann comic strip are the ones featuring my favorite male singer and male entertainer, Clay Aiken. Also, an animated Clay Aiken is on the cover of this delightful book, which I love. I enjoy this book a lot, and you will too.

4.0 out of 5 stars We are 16 going on 24, February 13, 2008

By	Audrey Lubow "jewelry maker wannabe" (LA, ca United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My daughter LuAnne grew up with Greg Evans ever popular strip, While my Lu has aged gently -- his is still a teen/tween.

So many of the issues he writes about in his strip were the same issues we were experienceing in real life. My daughter felt like she was beeing followed, because this guy knew what was going on in her life at the same time. It was like a ghoast writer resided in our home.

A lot of fun.

Greg Evans has lost track of the heart of his comic strip and this collection proves it.
