Floey Packer feels invisible next to her exciting older sister. She feels like even her friends don't pay much attention to her. She might as well be the wallpaper.
She decides to turn over a new leaf and become the new and improved Floey. A daring Floey with funky colored hair and a dashing fashion sense. An alluring Floey who captivates would-be cowboy poets with her imaginative haiku.
But what really happens is that even her best friends Wen and Azra are more confused than supportive of the new Floey. And the poet? He's got a girlfriend. And the boys who do admire and follow around the new Floey? A pack of ten year olds.
Then things get really out of hand. Floey discovers why the pack of young boys has been following her around her neighbor conspired with her visiting cousins to post her entire life online: her diary, embarrassing pictures, the whole nine yards. Everything.
So, what's a girl to do? Floey does her best to exact some revenge and get her life back together. And just when everything seems like it couldn't get any worse, things start to improve. Floey, whether new and improved or not, is a darling character who will keep readers laughing.
I recommend this book for girls 10 and up or for anyone who's ever felt like the world just doesn't understand them.

I am the Wallpapper is a great book!
This book tells such a great fun story! the story is simply just FUN! During the book things change and new things happen that's what the best part. It's not just the same things repeated over and over again things get more interesting as the book progresses.
It's a great book also because it is a teen-age girls type of reading material but, it was written by a male author. It's in somewhat of a different perspective but, that's what makes all the more interesting to read!

This book is wonderful, I could relate to Floey and they way she felt about not being noticed. I found ther story easy to follow and feel to feel what the charactors feel. I would tell anyone to read this book because it has changed me. It has changed my life and the way i pay attention to the way people look at me. I find the fact that it includes the diary entries adds a personal touch and lets us feel like Floey is speaking to us, not just anyone.
I got really into the book and found after I read it i felt a lot better about myself. I wish that the book was longer but I loved the way it ended. Personally I felt like Floey was in a no good way out problem when her diary got posted online all her secret, the ones she ment and the ones she wroye when she was mad all got told to whoever read it. Reading this book made me think of how I would act if something like that ever happened to me and I think it improved my problem solving. It has made me have second thoughts about having a diary or a journal. But still it was a wonderful book and I would read it again and again.

Floey considers herself wallpaper blending into the background. Boy, is she wrong. I have no clue how she could ever blend in but she might have a point of not being taken seriously enough. This book main character, however quirky she was as well as the ability of getting caught in hilarious situations, didn't appeal to me as much as some other ones i've crossed paths with. I just felt that Floey's character wasn't deep and her insecurities and her solution were skip deep.
