Fun book for any pre-teen or teen. Has great suggestions and fun ideas for doing things you might not even want to or even have though of doing. Above board, doesn't suggest anything bad, risque or off-handed. Great book to get them thinking about all the possiblities they can do.

This is a book about two girls, Anna and Beth. They're about to turn sixteen, and want to do something to fit in better. So they make a list, the title of which is 10 Things to Do Before You're 16.

The list consists of:

1. Get gorgeous hair
2. Anna get ears pierced/Beth get a tattoo
3. Get and wear a pair of super high stilettos (WITHOUT FALLING!)
4. Hook up with the two school hotties, Baz and Greg
5. Get a job and earn loads of dosh, or money
6. Get into a club
7. Get perfectly tanned and fuzz-free legs
8. Get cleavage
9. Have fantastic nails
10. Be dead cool and sophisticated

Beth, throughout the whole book, admires Anna's brother, Joey, for being a perfect brother compared to her own. Plus, as you read this book, you can guess that she starts to like him.

This is a perfect example for the many girls out there who are trying to be something they're not. There are lots of girl that are trying so hard to fit in and who change themselves, sometimes for the worse.

Read this book...it is an excellent one!
