How Not to Be Popular by Jennifer Ziegler

4.0

Maggie's parents believe that if people were meant to stay in one place then they would be plants. The last move has left her hearbroken and she is determined not to go through the pain of losing boyfriends or friends again. So, when she starts her new life in Austin she decides she will do everything possible NOT to be popular: wearing outrageous outfits from her parent's thrift store, inviting her parents to eat with her in the cafeteria, and doing everything possible to make her unavoidable date with Young Republican Jack turn into a total disaster. As you might guess, things don't go quite as planned. She turns the social scene at her school upside-down while making several surprising discoveries about her own life.

A funny, breezy read that would be good for lovers of young chic-lit that also presents opportunities for discussion about life in high school and beyond. Fun!
