Teen Review: My Life in Pink and Green

My Life in Pink and Green by MF

I recommend the book My Life in Pink and Green by Lisa Greenwald because it is a really good book for young girls and teens. This book has to do with beauty, fashion, business, and most of all, girl power. Lisa Greenwald discusses what a girl can do to make a difference. The girl in the book, Lucy tried to help her family drugstore/pharmacy from foreclosure. Lucy goes green and transforms the family's pharmacy into a spa and pharmacy combined. She makes a "relaxation room" and she does people's makeup and hair.

In the process of this, she ties to save the economy and recycle by using all recycled products for the pharmacy "redecorating." By the time she is finished, the Old Mill Pharmacy has gained many customers and a lot more business thanks to Lucy and her girl power. This is why I recommend and like this book.

CLASSIC YA BOOKS THAT MADE YOU FEEL SEEN

K.W. Colyard Jul 26, 2023 SPEAK BY LAURIE HALSE ANDERSON I’m sure I’d heard of another book about rape before Speak came along. Hell, I might even have read one. But these days? This is the only book I can remember that dealt with one of the myriad possible reactions to sexual assault: silence. Speak and other books that deal with similar subject matter have the ability to empower victims of abuse to label what’s happened to them and seek help. ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT’S ME, MARGARET BY JUDY BLUME Once a staple on banned books lists, Judy Blume’s most famous novel has been teaching preteens about puberty — including menstruation and boob exercises — since 1970. Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret was far ahead of its time, being one of the first children’s books to show an interfaith family on the page, and — along with Lois Lowry’s Anastasia Krupnik — depicted a child allowed to make up her own mind about which religion she wanted to follow.

JEWISH YA BOOKS: MORE THAN THE HOLOCAUST

by Jaime Herndon Oct 27, 2021 I can remember the first time I really felt “seen” in a book. It was Judy Blume’s Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret . Margaret’s parents had an interfaith marriage, like my parents. I’d never seen that before in a book, and it felt special to me. I don’t remember reading many of the Holocaust books people say they read as kids (Lois Lowry’s Number the Stars comes to mind, which is actually about a non-Jewish girl), although we did read The Diary of Anne Frank in school. To put it bluntly, we didn’t need to read many of those books at my Jewish day school. The history was in many of our families, with grandparents having numbers on their arms or stories of escape. It was in some of our teachers whose histories we whispered. We studied the Holocaust intensely our 8th grade year. I don’t think it was until after I graduated and went to a public high school that I realized Holocaust kid lit and YA lit was A Thing. Sometimes I cringe when looking at
