Review
I’m going to be honest, I didn’t like this book. (And not just because the cover is bleh, the story is also boring) I usually likes MIX books, but this one is just meh…
This book is about Taffeta, the most popular girl in school. But what the school doesn’t know is that her name is Ernestine and she’s a nerd. When Taffeta cheats on a test, her teacher has the magic to turn her back into Ernestine! Now she’s stuck in a life she thought she left behind. And the only way out is to dance with Winslow, the geekest guy in school…
This book has potential… The storyline was good, but honestly it flopped. The characters were ok, the magic was eh, it just wasn’t for me. The book is clean, nothing wrong with it. I just didn’t like the story.
Overall, this book is ok. If you are looking for a clean book for a little girl, this would be a option. -The Young Llama Reader.
Pros
- For girls 9 and up
Cons
- Bullying
When Ernestine Smith moved to California, she reinvented herself as Taffeta— so successfully that she’s now the leader of the most popular clique at La Cambria Middle School.
That is, until she’s caught cheating off brilliant but geeky Winslow Fromes and her teacher gives her the option of a fresh start.
What Taffeta doesn’t realize is that Mr. Dribble can magically turn her back into Ernestine.
The only way to become Taffeta again is to dance with Winslow at the Winterfest dance, but even Winslow wants nothing to do with a loser like Ernestine.
Unexpected story twists and an accessible, cinematic style make H. B. Homzie’s first tween novel a perfect M!X book.
