The Fashion Committee by Susan Juby


The Fashion Committee
I had put off reading this book as I thought it was going to be a sappy romance that only talked about boys, clothing and make up.  I couldn't have been more wrong.  It's about a couple of kids trying to win a scholarship to a prestigious high school.  Excellent.  Better yet, they have to design and sew an outfit for a fashion show as their entry.  Cool.  All for young people being creative and taking charge of their futures.
From there is got better and better.  We learned a lot about both Charlie(f) and John(m) and the challenges they face in their daily lives. You can't tell much about a person's home life by how they appear at school.

I ended up really enjoying this story and am sad that I waited so long to read it.

would also appeal to readers of :

Chaotic Good by Whitney Gardner
Geekerella by Ashley Poston


I received an advanced reader copy of this book from Indigo Books & music in exchange for an honest review.

Isn't it an amazing feeling when a book that you hadn't expected much if anything of turns out to be not just different to you thought but a good read.

This does sound enjoyable and given how creative you are I can well imagine you really liking it.
