Popular: A Memoir

 

By Maya Van Wagenen

 

-Review by Kate Bolland of Stilton Primary-

 

This book has to be one of the best books I have ever read. Maya Van Wagenen is a teenager and is struggling with life. She finds an old, torn and battered popularity guide for teenagers by Betty Cornell. She has the idea to follow the guide for the whole of Year 8- no matter how hard or embarrassing.

 

How do you think she’ll do?

 

I would recommend this book to readers who are a bit geeky, shy and needs and boost of confidence and for age 11 and upwards.
