Spoof on teen help books--good reading for Middle Schoolers.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is a good book for the Middle School set to read. It's about a girl named Franny Dillman who creates an interesting life based on teen problem books that her mother brings home for her. Franny's mother is concerned about Franny reading "adult" books in her closet by flashlight such as Jane Eyre. Franny feels as though she has a boring, tranquil life so to shake it up and make things more interesting, she imagines her life along the books she reads. She makes her life parallel to the plots and the people she goes to school with into characters out of Jane Eyre. Her mother, wanting to help Franny adjust properly with the real world and her imagination gives her teen appropriate books that just make matters worse, but the situations are hilarious!
