After all the ups and downs of their first year in junior high,
they're looking forward to seeing the sights and getting some new
perspective on their quest for popularity. Papa Dad and Daddy will
provide the transportation, and Lydia and Julie will provide the
entertainment.At first they use their Powers of Observation to
catalog the traditions and oddities of each new location they
visit, but soon their attention turns to parents and negotiating
sensitive family dynamics. By the time the duo hits familiar
streets again, they may have to accept some uncomfortable truths,
but their journey is infused with the humor, heart, and
truthfulness that Amy Ignatow is known for.
What do you get when you mix a sci-fi nerd, a cartoonist, a social
outcast, and the most popular girl in school with a mysterious bus
crash? Some very specific-and mighty odd-superpowers. Martina can
change her eye color; Nick can teleport four inches to the left;
Farshad can develop super strength, but only in his thumbs; and
Cookie can read minds, when those minds are thinking about
directions. Starring a diverse group of kids, this series' multiple
narrators make for a quirky, contemporary read that tackles
identity and stereotypes. Praised widely, Ignatow's characters have
been called "very real" by the New York Times and "completely
convincing" by the New Yorker.
This scrapbook-style novel charts the friendship of Lydia Goldblatt
and Julie Graham-Chang as they embark on a quest to study the
behaviours and tastes of the 'popular' girls so they can join their
ranks in Secondary school. They scheme together to invent their
first crushes, go to great lengths to obtain a mobile phone, and
save each other from major embarrassment. When Lydia starts to
become friends with the "popular" girls she's forced to choose
between them and Julie. The Popularity Papers figures in the centre
of an epic Secondary school power struggle. Their story is
genuinely funny and good-hearted with a wealth of funny details. As
they write their own story, their friendship evolves in touching
and relatable ways.
