Popular: Vintage Wisdom for a Modern Geek
of Maya Van Wagenen
Description
A touchingly honest, candidly hysterical memoir from breakout teen author Maya Van Wagenen Stuck at the bottom of the social ladder at pretty much the lowest level of people at school who arenât paid to be here,â Maya Van Wagenen decided to begin a unique social experiment: spend the school year following a 1950s popularity guide, written by former teen model Betty Cornell. Can curlers, girdles, Vaseline, and a strand of pearls help Maya on her quest to be popular? The real-life results are painful, funny, and include a wonderful and unexpected surpriseâmeeting and befriending Betty Cornell herself. Told with humor and grace, Mayaâs journey offers readers of all ages a thoroughly contemporary example of kindness and self-confidence.
