Book Review of How Do You Lose Those Ninth Grade Blues

How Do You Lose Those Ninth Grade Blues
celeria avatar reviewed on + 174 more book reviews


Fourth in Barthe Declements' group of books about Jack, Jenny, and their friends, and the second book to focus on Elsie. Since fifth grade she's managed to lose her weight but not her low self-esteem. Declements gives her chapters stupid titles and has this inexplicable tendency to write "walkin" instead of "walking," but it's a pleasure to meet up with Elsie and Jenny four years later and see how they turned out.
