Loading... The Pistachio Prescription (original 1978; edition 2006)by Paula Danziger
Work detailsThe Pistachio Prescription by Paula Danziger (1978)
None. I liked Cassie a lot. Her voice was true and believable, wavering there on the edge of growing up. This is an Issue Book but it manages to not be particularly pointed or preachy. I found parts of it poignant and parts laugh-out-loud funny. Nicely done, but certainly a period piece now. (  ) satyridae | Apr 5, 2013 |  Short but sweet and much less dated than "The Cat Ate My Gymsuit," although they were both written in the seventies. Possibly better than Danziger's first book, this novel has a tighter narrative and a heroine that readers will probably think is cool (despite her mishaps with some eyebrow tweezers). A good middle-grade novel about kids becoming more self-reliant. (  ) RGQuimby | Mar 5, 2009 | The style of writing in this book reminds me so much of Judy Blume's books. This book would be a good book for children in divorced families to see that they are not alone in their feelings. Cassie is a total hypochondriac. Her family is totally disfunctional and makes me feel glad that mine is much more normal. ( ) Camethyste | Feb 28, 2009 | I have enjoyed reading paula danzigers books for the past twenty years and can't wait to have a daughter so i can buy a whole new set for her.
