I think people at the ages of nine and up would enjoy this book because it also includes images but has a lot of words with the image. Also because it is about those ages, well just about. The book is about fashion, gossip, and middle school. People these ages would enjoy it. This book includes first person point of view. The narrator is Ginny and her best friend, Becky. Ginny calls her BeckySoo. So if you like books with images, gossip, friendship, and fashion. Check out this book. I know you would enjoy it.
