Accidentally Fabulous by Lisa Papademetriou - ADVISABLE


Papademetriou, Lisa Accidently Fabulous, 187 p. Scholastic, 2008. $5 

EL, MS - ADVISABLE.

Amy has always had an easy time getting to know people. All of her skills are put to the test, however, when she enters new, ultra-rich, ultra-fancy Arlington Academy. She thinks she has a friend in Jenelle, but Jenelle is a member of the League, a group of prima donnas, ruled by mean girl extraordinaire Fiona. And if Amy doesn't do things Fiona's way, Amy may have no social life to talk about. 

While I had a hard time stomaching (or believing) the description of the Academy, the rest of the book was just fine. The Candy Apple series, written by various authors, makes their point without resorting to profanity, drugs, violence or sex. The subjects are the kinds of things tween girls think about all the time.
