Sticky Notes

Books and Bikinis Reading Challenge - read 10 books about mermaids, the sea, the beach...by the end of the summer! hopefully soon!

Please be patient with the fewer and far-between posts....we have a new 'half' born in April and things are slow as we adjust and try desperately for more sleep. (It's a girl!)

Girl Gives Birth to Own Prom Date, by Todd Strasser


Girl Gives Birth To Own Prom Date
Todd Strasser, 1996

When popular Nicole gets shafted by Brad for the prom, she talks her next door and sometime friend Chase into going to the prom with her. They're ready to fool everyone into thinking they're the perfect couple. But maybe...they are!
If this sounds familiar, well, it is. It's been made into a movie staring Melissa Joan Hart, called Drive Me Crazy. It was a completely teen book with everything from gossip to ridiculous priorities, but at least in the end, Nicole figures a few things out. I'd have like the character development to be better, but it wasn't too bad for a one-time read.
Graded a C+.
