Deenie by Judy Blume
3.0
Read for Book Roast's Magical Readathon: NEWTs Exams. Subject: Ancient Runes, E Level. (Most Ancient Book on Shelf)
Marked to read January 12, 2009
I do love me some Judy Blume. It's crazy to me that I've never read this one before. Or that there are Blume books I haven't read, period.
She really has such a way with teenaged characters. Deenie hits just the right note of innocent teen and snotty teenaged brat. I find it unrealistic that more students at her school didn't gawk or treat her poorly for having a brace, especially in the era that this was set. But this is a sweet, innocent story that I think any teenager with a disability could enjoy.
Assuming they are of an age to not be scandalized by their special spot. ^^
