Popular: Vintage Wisdom for a Modern Geek (A Memoir)
by
by
This book should be read after Betty Cornell’s Teen-age Popularity Guide. It’s a cute book and the author is amiable and sweet. While reading it, I kept laughing at myself since as a rule I try to avoid memoirs written by anyone younger than their forties. This one was written by an eighth grader! I read it out of curiosity and am happy that I did, although I cannot recommend it to anyone other than girls in that age group.
My favorite quote:
“Popularity is more than looks. It’s not clothes, hair, or even possessions. When we let go of these labels, we see how flimsy and relative they actually are. Real popularity is kindness and acceptance. It is about who you are, and how you treat others.�

That piece of wisdom does sound like it comes from a much older person. I don't know any 14 year olds who would be able to articulate that. They are more about being jewels in their sticky -out bosoms!
