Stuck On Me by Hilary Freeman
- Mar. 3rd, 2012 at 11:29 PM
The Blurb On The Back:
Sky is going through a growth spurt and, terrifyingly, her nose seems to be growing faster than the rest of her face!
Sky’s best friends Rosie and Vix don’t understand her obsession. She’s pretty – what’s the problem? But when Sky’s boyfriend dumps her, it’s the final straw. Determined to do something about her nose, she sets out on a journey that takes all three girls to parts of Camden Town they have never seen before …
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers):Collapse )
The Verdict:
The second in Hilary Freeman’s CAMDEN TOWN TALES trilogy is a fun, fast read that looks at teen self-image in a non-preachy way and I’ll definitely be reading the other books in this trilogy.
