The Plain Janes
August 9th, 2007 by Laura Moncur in Literature
Unshelved did a review of The Plain Janes by Cecil Castellucci (Author), Jim Rugg (Illustrator) a few months ago.
I like the idea of a girl who doesn’t want to hang out with the cool kids and spends more time with the artsy and smartsy girls. I didn’t do nearly enough of that when I was in high school. I tried so hard to be popular.
In the end, my best friends are the people who stuck with me no matter how popular (or not) I was. I am still friends with them to this day. I wish I had spent more time hanging with them in the computer lab and less time avoiding date rape at the drunken football parties.
