4. Confessions of a Not-So-Supermodel


Confessions of a Not-So-Supermodel. Lindsey, Brooklyn.2008.Grand Rapids, MI. Youth Specialties Products.


Annotation: Brooklyn Lindsey shares her real life experiences along with advice for adolescent girls on various topics, including boys, religion, friends, dreams, and our own unique gifts.


Justification for rejection: While this book offers some great advice for young teens about growing up and being confident in yourself, I wouldn't want to nominate it. Lindsey has a lot to share, but her background story didn't do enought to support the rest of her book. She relates many lessons in life to her own dream of becoming a supermodel, and sometimes I do not think the topics are related closely enough. Her audience is very small, focusing on teens who are very religious and I don't think all teen girls would relate.


Genre: Nonfiction
