review 1: A cute girl book, Moxie is starting boarding school because her small town has no school after 7th grade. Moxie sees this as an opportunity to reinvent herself with eye toward becoming more popular. The trouble is Moxie doesn't know which of several personalities she might like to assume and so begins to assume each of them depending on how she feels the girl she is with will receive it. She keeps a journal of what personality she shows to which girls, and lies as necessary to fill in the appropriate backgrounds. As you can see this plan starts to fall apart fairly quickly with amusing results.
review 2: A very likeable and humorous voice. This book captures the adolescent search for self and self-acceptance very well. The finale, which takes place during a tal... moreent show, would never have occured in real life. School talent shows are way too structured to allow one student to take over the stage for so long. However, by the time this occured, I was so in love with Moxie that I was absolutely willing to suspend my disbelief. less
