Title:  How I Survived Being A Girl
Author:  Wendelin Van Draanen
Reviewer:   Alli L. '09

Carolyn is very tomboyish.  She has short hair and doesn't like girls who wear Mary Janes.  Now she has to help her mother take care of the house and her brothers throughout the entire summer and she is not happy about it.   She has to survive completing some very difficult "girl" tasks while helping her mother.  I like this book a lot, but it is strictly a girl book. The interesting plot makes it fly by and you want to read it over and over again.
