5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely great and very realistic!, 26 April 2002
By A Customer
This is a great book about a young girl who discovers she has scoliosis (curvature of the spine) and the effects it has on her life. It's all about how she reacts to it and learns to deal with it, and with her friends reactions to the scoliosis and in particular the brace she has to wear.

As a 'girl' with scoliosis myself, I found this book very realistic and helpful, I first read it at 9 and 12 years later I'm still reading it again and again. It is a great book with brilliant charachters and I would (and have) recommended it to all my friends.

Whether you are just looking for a good book, or whether you want to learn about the struggle girls have with scoliosis, it is a great book and well worth a read.
BORROW IT, READ IT, THEN YOU WILL WANT TO BUY IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars What an enjoyable read!, 3 April 2002
This book didn't occur to me to be a book that I wouldn't be able to put down!
Deenie the main character is fine until she finds out she has a problem with her spine. Her mother doesn't make it better with going on about a model agency. She says that Deenies older sister is the brainy one while Deenie is the model.
Deenie doesn't want to be a model, but her mother forces her. When she finds out Deenie has a spine problem she says it's her own fault.
Will Deenie have the courage to go on? Read and find out!
