Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 7-10-The three LBDs (Les Bambinos Dangereuses) want to attend the Astlebury Music Festival but, alas, are forbidden to go. Ronnie, Fleur, and Claudette have hit a wall and their parents refuse to budge, so it's no music, no partying, and, most of all, no "million totally lush festival-going boys." The three 14-year-olds devise a plan, though-they will stage their own music festival as part of the school's Summer Garden Party-but the project details prove much more difficult than they anticipated. Complicating matters are boyfriend lust, a school principal, temperamental artists, and, of course, parents. The characters are well drawn and appealing with their typical teenage foibles, and the plot, which moves at a steady pace, is a nice mix of humor and seriousness. Dent's first novel is a delightful read and easily makes the transition from England to America. Fans of Louise Rennison's Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging (HarperCollins, 2000) and Ann Brashares's The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Delacorte, 2001) will welcome this book.

From Booklist

Gr. 7-9. LBD (Les Bambinos Dangereuse) are gorgeous Fleur, smart Claude, and everygirl Ronnie, who narrates the story. Together they make things happen, including a music festival at their school. It's their idea; they organize it from beginning to end, and, fortunately, their job includes finding cute boy bands to participate. Kids who have read Louise Rennison's books will find Ronnie's voice almost identical to that of Georgia Nicolson, right down to the "snogging." And though Ronnie may not be writing in a diary, her depiction of teen life in England hits all the same notes: the boys; the parents (with the twist that her mother is keeping a secret about being pregnant); the slang-filled, sharp-eyed take at the events swirling around her. With the unfolding ups and downs of the music festival moving the action, this is a fun, if derivative, read. For a similar title, see Cherry Whytock's My Cup Runneth Over, below). Ilene Cooper

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, February 23, 2007
A Kid's Review
This review is from: LBD: It's a Girl Thing (Hardcover)
Well, this book is really great. When I first saw it and I thought this is gonna be some cheesy highschool romance novel that is gonna stink. But boy was I wrong, I finished this book in 2 days(if you know me then, it has to be an awesome book if I can finish it that quick)! It's a book about three girls conquering boys,highschool,and one of the school's bullys. Fleur,Ronnie,Claude make wonderful plans for a school concert and the book is about all the laughs(and ok some crys) about it. I don't want to give to much away, because if I do then you might not read it, but you should cause it's awesome as I have said before.

3.0 out of 5 stars Teenage Troubles, November 9, 2003
By "cad245" (Cleveland, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: LBD: It's a Girl Thing (Hardcover)
LBD it's a girl thing is a funny and witty book about the life of three teenage girls: Fleur, Claudia, and Ronnie. In the story the girls desperately want to go to the Astlebury music festival, but their parents won't let them. Claudia comes up with the idea to have their own music festival at their school. The girls face a few problems along the way like: Ronnie's parents' separation and Panama and her band, the girls' enemies are the headline act in the festival. After a few bumps everything works out and the festival is a great sucess. Ronnie gets the boy she has a major crush on and her parents get back together. She also has a new sibling on the way. As an added surprise, Superstar Mike Saunders comes to the festival and sings a few songs for the perfect ending. I think that the book was a tad bit boring and the plot was weak. I also thought that it was very humorous and realistic when it comes to how teenage girls act these days.
