    <![CDATA[Ellie is frantic. Her two best friends seem to be living life in the  fast lane while she putters along the curb. Glamorous blond Magda has got a  thousand cute boys buzzing around her, and Goth girl Nadine has just been asked  to take part in a national teen modeling contest. All Ellie has are massive  panic attacks about her weight. So she decides to go on a diet. But instead of  counting calories, Ellie just tries to stop eating altogether. Soon she's  starving, miserable, and lying all the time to her friends and family. Luckily,  a frightening encounter with a real anorectic, and an encouraging dose of art  history from a handsome new teacher (&quot;Beauty is just fashion. Male artists have  used beautiful women throughout the centuries but their sizes and proportions  keep changing&quot;) help Ellie realize that size is just a state of mind. <p>  In this second installment of the Girls trilogy, fabulous British author  Jacqueline Wilson keeps her trademark funny bone firmly in place while  simultaneously raising some sobering questions about issues like eating  disorders and teens' overemphasis on appearance. Despite the laughs, Ellie very  nearly lapses into anorexia, Magda gets a scare when her chronic flirting almost  leads to date rape, and Nadine realizes that the modeling business could care  less about her individuality or intellect. Wrapping serious messages in a sugary  comical coating is always the best way to make the medicine go down. Recommended  for those teen female readers who want something both funny <em>and</em> filling.  (Ages 12 and older) <em>--Jennifer Hubert</em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Ellie is frantic. Her two best friends seem to be living life in the  fast lane while she putters along the curb. Glamorous blond Magda has got a  thousand cute boys buzzing around her, and Goth girl Nadine has just been asked  to take part in a national teen modeling contest. All Ellie has are massive  panic attacks about her weight. So she decides to go on a diet. But instead of  counting calories, Ellie just tries to stop eating altogether. Soon she's  starving, miserable, and lying all the time to her friends and family. Luckily,  a frightening encounter with a real anorectic, and an encouraging dose of art  history from a handsome new teacher (&quot;Beauty is just fashion. Male artists have  used beautiful women throughout the centuries but their sizes and proportions  keep changing&quot;) help Ellie realize that size is just a state of mind. <p>  In this second installment of the Girls trilogy, fabulous British author  Jacqueline Wilson keeps her trademark funny bone firmly in place while  simultaneously raising some sobering questions about issues like eating  disorders and teens' overemphasis on appearance. Despite the laughs, Ellie very  nearly lapses into anorexia, Magda gets a scare when her chronic flirting almost  leads to date rape, and Nadine realizes that the modeling business could care  less about her individuality or intellect. Wrapping serious messages in a sugary  comical coating is always the best way to make the medicine go down. Recommended  for those teen female readers who want something both funny <em>and</em> filling.  (Ages 12 and older) <em>--Jennifer Hubert</em></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Ellie is frantic. Her two best friends seem to be living life in the  fast lane while she putters along the curb. Glamorous blond Magda has got a  thousand cute boys buzzing around her, and Goth girl Nadine has just been asked  to take part in a national teen modeling contest. All Ellie has are massive  panic attacks about her weight. So she decides to go on a diet. But instead of  counting calories, Ellie just tries to stop eating altogether. Soon she's  starving, miserable, and lying all the time to her friends and family. Luckily,  a frightening encounter with a real anorectic, and an encouraging dose of art  history from a handsome new teacher (&quot;Beauty is just fashion. Male artists have  used beautiful women throughout the centuries but their sizes and proportions  keep changing&quot;) help Ellie realize that size is just a state of mind. <p>  In this second installment of the Girls trilogy, fabulous British author  Jacqueline Wilson keeps her trademark funny bone firmly in place while  simultaneously raising some sobering questions about issues like eating  disorders and teens' overemphasis on appearance. Despite the laughs, Ellie very  nearly lapses into anorexia, Magda gets a scare when her chronic flirting almost  leads to date rape, and Nadine realizes that the modeling business could care  less about her individuality or intellect. Wrapping serious messages in a sugary  comical coating is always the best way to make the medicine go down. Recommended  for those teen female readers who want something both funny <em>and</em> filling.  (Ages 12 and older) <em>--Jennifer Hubert</em></p>]]>
