Girl, 15, Charming but Insane

by Candice Cooper

 

Jess Jordan is a 15 year old high school comic. Join her on an hilarious journey of love, heartache and laughter.

Jess Jordan feels slightly mental, like she doesn't belong and that her body is out of proportion. Her best friend is quite the opposite. She is nothing short of a goddess and Jess is constantly in her shadow.

At a party, Jess had a food accident and had to strip down in the bathroom to clean up, only to discover, too late, that there was a camera hidden on the sink taping her every move. To make matters worse, the entire class is getting together to watch it, which means her crush, Ben Jones, will see her in all her waist-up glory.

After that things go from bad to worse. Will anything ever work out the way Jess plans? You bet they will!

Even though Jess is highly insecure about her appearance, talents and brains, she comes off as optimistic. In her most dire of circumstances, she always looks for, and finds, the silver lining. She accepts uncomfortable situations easily and always gives others the benefit of the doubt. Jess is a great teen with a big heart.

Sue Limb has penned a delightful story of an endearing teenage girl. She has managed to put into words, so many of the emotions teens face on a daily basis. This book is a riot to read and will have you laughing out loud at many of it's scenarios. An excellent selection for both girls and boys.
