Deenie -- Judy Blume

<b>Scoliosis twists Deenie's plans for her social life in this classic Judy Blume novel with a fresh new look.</b> <p/>Deenie's mother wants her to be a model, with her face on magazine covers--maybe even in the movies--but Deenie wants to spend Saturdays with her friends Janet and Midge, tracking Harvey Grabowsky, the captain of the football team, around Woolworth's. She wants to be a cheerleader, too, and go to the seventh-grade mixer to hear Buddy Brader play his drums. <p/>Instead, Deenie is diagnosed with scoliosis. And that means body stockings to squeeze into, a roomful of strangers to face, and a terrifying brace that she'll need to wear for years that goes from her neck to her hips. Suddenly Deenie has to cope with a kind of specialness that's frightening--and might be hers forever.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Judy Blume<br><b>Publisher:</b> Atheneum Books for Young Readers<br><b>Published:</b> 04/29/2014<br><b>Pages:</b> 192<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.40lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.70d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781481410373<br><b>Age Range:</b> 10-13<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 4.2<br><b>Point Value:</b> 5<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>18808 / Deenie<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Judy Blume, one of America's most popular authors, is the recipient of the 2004 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.
