Nicolette Spicer, or Nick, has always been a tomboy, and wasn’t ashamed of it. She was proud of the way she dressed
and carried herself and she was proud at how well she did at basketball. But Nick’s feelings about herself begin to change
when she literally bumps into Ben, the new guy at school. Who knew he could be so cute up close?
Now Nick begins to crush on Ben, but there seems to be one little problem. It looks like Ben only goes for the types of
girls who are completely into the way they look and the latest fashions. Girls like Hannah, who just so happens to also be
on the basketball team -- but who is also pretty, Nick’s enemy, and definitely the one Ben would go out with. Nick knows
nothing about fashion and hasn’t really cared about the way she looks, but she's determined to have Ben notice her girly
side, and hopefully have him choose her over Hannah.
The only way Nick can accomplish this is to get a makeover, and she needs one quick so she can make her big debut as a
girly girl at Hannah’s party, which Ben will just so happen to be attending. But will this makeover be totally beneficial in
helping Nick to get Ben? Or will it just make her feel even worse about herself?
Words just can’t describe how hilarious and entertaining HOW TO BE A GIRLY GIRL IN JUST TEN DAYS was. Lisa
Papademetriou shows us that sometimes being yourself is more worth it and definitely less time-consuming than a
makeover. This is the perfect quick read for anyone who just wants to sit back and relax.
