When I first started reading the first page of "Queen of the toilet bowl" by:Frieda wishinsky, I was thinking to myself "oh, this is boring". When I flipped to the back cover and started to read more, I was interested in the action and drama. I read it more and more! until i loved it! I loved this book because there was a-lot of bullying between two main characters.
Two of the main characters was a girl named Raneta and Karin. These girls were enimies and Raneta was a nerdy girl, never got in tro...more
This was a quick read about a girl who is trying to not let a bully bother her. The lesson it teaches is a good one, but the story itself is just okay. I felt it was a little TOO cliche, with too much emphasis on stereotypes. And the book itself was too short to be introducing concepts such as a dead father or a cute boy that was hardly even mentioned or a rich man having an affair with the help - another cliche stereotype.
Renata is targeted by the queen mean girl at school when Renata wins the lead in the school musical. Unfortunately, her mom is the housekeeper for the mean girl's family and is about to suffer for her daughter's success.
it was ok. it was about this girl who went to a school that was for upperclass kids. So everyone found out that her mom was a cleaning lady for most of her classmates house.

Recommends it for:
middle school and high school reluctant readers
This book is one of the excellent Orca Currents Series of high interest/easy readability for reluctant middle school/high school readers.
This book's reading level is 3.6, yet it is so well-written that the reader doesn't feel at all patronized.
Prejudice against immigrants and internet bullying are the subject matter covered in this story.
I really enjoyed this book, and would love to read an expanded version of the story.

Definitely one of the weaker Orca books.
