Research for the Social Improvement and General Betterment of Lydia Goldblatt & Julie Graham-Chang by Amy Ignatow
5.0
Lydia Goldblatt and Julie Graham-Chang have been best friends since they were babies. In their quest to enter middle school as part of the popular crowd, they set out to observe several popular classmates to find out just what makes them popular. They record their observations in a shared notebook. Julie is the more shy member of the pair, but also an artist. Lydia is less afraid to try new things, but sometimes goes a little too far.
As they get to know the popular girls, they start spending less time with each other and forget that sometimes old friends are the ones who really matter. My favorite quote from the book, which comes from an unexpected source, is, "Your friends should be the coolest people you know."
This is a funny and touching book about the power of friendship and also has a nice message about seeing the good in everyone.
The Popularity Papers is an excellent graphic novel that will appeal primarily to girls, fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, or anyone who has ever felt like an outsider.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
