Critique
Lizabeth Zindel is the daughter of notable teen author Paul Zindel. It is clear that insightful teen novels run in the family. This is her second novel for teens, and fans of mean girl teen literature will surely eat it up. Maggie is an intelligent girl with a conscience who must decide between popularity and staying true to herself. The writing is swift and entertaining.
