Hey guys,
Favorite Blast #6 is going to review How I Survived Being a Girl, by Wendelin Van Draanen.
These are Carolyn's tips for survival. She swears by them. By looking at these rules, you can probably guess what type of girl Carolyn is. If you're thinking about ribbons, long hair, dolls and kittens, sugar and spice and everything nice, well, you're WRONG! If you're thinking about a tomboy, dirty and messy, digging holes, action and spying, then you're CORRECT!
Carolyn is a tomboy. She wishes she was never a girl. Playing with dolls? Dress-up? Ugh! Football? Spying? Um, yeah! No wonder she doesn't have any friends who are girls.
Carolyn has all sorts of adventures. Digging foxholes, signing a petition against her music teacher, girly-girl girls, stealing books (it was by accident, okay?), and climbing roofs are just part of Carolyn's life.
But during the summer before sixth grade, everything seems to change... Before, Carolyn wouldn't have though much of stealing a book. Now she's frightened out of her wits. She isn't that friendly with her best friend Charlie anymore.
Read about Carolyn's hilarious adventures in the book!
This is Wendelin Van Draanen's first book, but I myself haven't read her other books.
I recommend this book for ages 9 and above.
The book has colorful language and portrays a clear picture in your mind. The problem is that the book seems a little outdated as some features of modern life are missing and sometimes you can't really connect to Carolyn. Other than that, it's a great book that you'll probably love!
