One of my old high school friends, Beth Lahni-Boswell, has a fantastic blog that ignited my urge to have my own blog. She also teaches English, and has reviewed a number of Young Adult literature books on her site.I found Perfect: A Novel by Natasha Friend on Beth's blog and was curious enough to read it.
If you understand that the book is written from the 8th grade girl with an eating disorder's perspective, you'll get a lot more out of it.
I'm glad I read it, and will put add it to my classroom library today. Also, I ordered Friend's next book, Lush today on Half.com. Thanks for the tip, Beth.
