Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Crystal F

Within the first few pages I wasn't sure I was going to like Poseur, but as
it went along I was sucked right in. Petra, Janie, Melissa and
Charlotte couldn't be more different. That is established in the
beginning. They all come from different backgrounds and are part of
four different cliques at their high school. When a group study program
lands them together to launch their own fashion label, things begin to
go crazy.



The characters in this are very interesting. They continue to develop
through the book through interaction with each other and with others. I
enjoyed getting to know each of them, at times I didn't like them and
at other times they began to redeem themselves. Through getting to know
each other they begin to all change for the better without losing
themselves.



The antics can be zany but the voice of each character comes through
clear and their is a lesson to be learned in the end. I think this is a
wonderful book - full of the fun of young adult books, but with a
built-in lesson that doesn't bang kids over the head - it's just there
to be taken however you want to take it. I look forward to reading the
next book in the series and seeing more of Petra, Janie, Melissa and
Charlotte.
 


I also loved the fashion sketches at the end of the book - I wish I
had it to keep and try out some of the patterns, but I had to return it
to the library.
