The List deftly takes you into the lives of eight very different girls struggling with issues of identity, self-esteem, and the judgments of their peers. Prettiest or ugliest, once you’re on the list, you’ll never be the same.
It happens every year before homecoming -- the list is posted all over school. Two girls are picked from each grade. One is named the prettiest, one the ugliest. The girls who aren’t picked are quickly forgotten. The girls who are become the center of attention, and each reacts differently to the experience.
An intense look at the rules of high school attractions — and the price that’s paid for them.
And do you also know the story of the first goodnight kiss? Dream of these and many more bedtime stories.
The sweet, colorful illustrations fill the entire book, not simply accompanying the text, but as another narration of the story.
