Stealing Popular by Trudi Trueit-OPTIONAL

Trueit, Trudi, Stealing Popular. Simon and Schuster, 2012. Pgs. 230. Language: PG (1 swear, no “f”s), Violence: G, Sexual Content: G

 Coco Sherwood goes to Briar Green Middle School. When some of the mean, popular girls start picking on Coco’s friends, Coco takes matters into her own hands in a creative way. Now girls who never dreamed of being a cheerleaders are making cheer squad and becoming beauty queens. Will Coco’s dreams of equality come true or will they turn into a nightmare?

Although the plot is overdone, Trudi handles it in a well-written, creative way. The characters are humorous and easy to relate to. Readers who like chick-lit, humor, and realistic fiction will enjoy reading this book. MS. OPTIONAL. Reviewer: Kira M, Youth Services Librarian, WHI Public Library.
