Cabot, Meg. Narrator: Kate Reinders. How to be Popular. WMA Audiobook
Annotation: Stephany Landry has had a reputation to live down ever since grade school. "Don't Pull a Steph" is a phrase made famous by Lauren, the most popular girl in school. Steph devises a plan to become popular by following the advice in an old self-help book titled "How to be Popular".
Justification for Nomination: I really enjoyed the book, especially from a young adult standpoint. Any young girl that has ever felt they didn't fit in could relate to this book. She has just a couple of close friends, and they enjoy making fun of the popular kids in school, as they feel they are far more intellecutal than the "A crowd". With the help from her book, Steph shows up on the first day back to school from summer break and completely changes everyone's perspective about her. Her close friends disapprove, but Steph wants to make everyone stop saying that awful phrase and maybe even catch the attention of her crush. In the end, Steph finds out what is really important and that being popular may not be all its cracked up to be.
I think that any teen girl that has ever struggled to fit in could learn some valuable lessons from this book, and it is also very entertaining and attention-grabbing at the same time.
Genre:Audiobook, Humor, YA fiction.
