Despite the real life origins of the tale, a lot of this story just didn't ring true to me. The dialogue was often stilted, and the characters a little one note. It does read fairly easily, however, and the fantasy of going to Europe and having special attention shown to oneself is one to which lots of readers can relate. ( ) This novel tells the story of an insecure young lady who needs something beautiful made just for her to build her confidence and has a loving, outgoing mother who has the perfect plan. I would use this book for independent reading suggestions for middle school proficient readers to compliment a lesson based on self-esteem and confidence and overcoming adversity. These are the Central issues addressed. no reviews | add a review
