Let me begin by stating that this book is so good. I couldn't put it down. I noticed wonderful things in this book that can be used in the classroom. There are so many themes mentioned that are real life situations for many teens. The main character deals with weight issues and her own self-image. High schoolers deal with this everyday. I think this would be a great way to address the problem of weight. I know that the book deals with date rate and sexuality. I think it is written and addressed in a tactful manner that helps girls, especially, feel normal and comfortable with their sexual curiousity. A theme of non-involved parents is a big part of the work. Ginny, the main character, deals with having to cope with very successful parents, the mother being a child psychologist, but not wanting to really be a part of their child's life. I think all these issues are ones that students deal with in the everyday world. I think that reading about them will help our students relate and find comfort in the situations that Ginny faces. I definitely think that this book can be taught in school. I know the main character is sixteen. I think sophmores, juniors, and seniors could really find this book enjoyable. There are many things a teacher can do with this work. Brochures on eating disorders, posters speaking out on date rape, and character body biographies are just some of the things an educator can use with this book. I hope to be able to use this work and include those activities in the unit.
