It's Me, Margaret, Deenie is Judy Blume's classic novel about self-consciousness and the pressure to look perfect. <p><b>Being a teenager can be tricky. Especially when you have a VERY pushy mum. From the author of <i>Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret</i>, Judy Blume's classic novel <i>Deenie</i> is about unrealistic beauty standards and the pressure to look perfect.</b><br><br><i>I hate it when my mother brags about me and my sister. "Deenie's the beauty and Helen's the brain."</i><br><br>Mrs Fenner has very fixed ambitions for her daughters. Deenie is thirteen years old and gorgeous. Her mother wants her to be a model – but Deenie's not so sure.<br><br>So when she's diagnosed with scoliosis – curvature of the spine – Deenie's almost relieved. No more traipsing round modelling agencies, no more living up to her mother's expectations.<br><br>But she has to wear an ugly, uncomfortable back brace for the next four years. And she's convinced that it will put an end to normal teenage life – including her blossoming relationship with Buddy Brader . . .</p> |
