The Popularity Papers
review 1: This third outing in the Popularity Papers Universe has Lydia and Julie actually trying kindness on for size, and opting on humbleness OVER "popularity". Shocking? Sure! They reach out to an "unlovable" girl who is picked on by other schoolkids for dressing funny. How coolis that? The concept may have hidden Biblical links, and as usual in the publishing world, an author like Ms. Ignatow is blissfully IG-norant. "Be not as others who do things to be noticed, for verily I tell you, they have their reward, but do things in secret, and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly." Makes sense, huh? The one problem I find is when Julie tells Lyds how as a little girl, her two gay dads allowed her into the men's room to erase the guilt about doing things non-mainstre... moream. To which I say: how sick can people get? Not to be mean, but even gay parents should know better than to objectify their own kids in this way. My personal opinion, of course; take it or leave it, however "main-stream" (LOL).
review 2: This book started off right where the last one finished, with Lydia back in the States and Julie ready to welcome her bff back. They work their way through the end of 6th grade, with more problems and more input and more fun. I still enjoy reading this series, and they are really easy and enjoyable. I like how you can see the differences in the personalities of the girls, and you truly feel like it was written by them. less
