Review: Will Work for Prom Dress

Quigley and her BFF Anne have a plan for the prom. They will work any jobs they can find in order to pay for amazing prom dresses. They will eat better and work out to tone up their bodies to show off at the prom. They will find the perfect dates for the prom.

Quigley isn't sure what she's going to do with her life. She's been rejected at her top college choice because her art portfolio lacks focus. She needs to find something to inspire her.

Anne signs them up to be live models for a fashion design course. Everyone except one boy chooses Anne as their model. Only Zander wants to work with Quigley. At first, she's humiliated, but then she gets to know Zander. He could be the perfect date to prom. Could he be interested in her?


My Thoughts: A really cute novel! I'm addicted to prom stories. I loved how these two friends tried to create the perfect prom experience. Anne and Quigley had their friendship issues and parental issues. I really liked Quigley's art incorporated into the story. Art and fashion are becoming more popular in novels and I really like it. Ferris blended these beautifully.

Cover Thoughts: Love it! I love the dress and how it ties into the book. I love the working sign as Anne gets the worst jobs for Quigley.

Suzi Clue: The Prom Queen Curse

Suzi Clue has a locker right next to the school's Queen Bee Gigi (and Prom Queen shoo- in). Right before the prom queen candidates are announced, Gigi meets with an unfortunate accident. She declines the nomination for prom queen because of a note claiming this year, the prom queen will be cursed. Suzi overhears Gigi and her clique talking about the note in the bathroom. Immediately her ears perk up. She wants to know who scared the Queen Bee and why. It's clear she's not going to get much help from Gigi who can't be seen conversing with a lowly freshman. Instead, as the candidates start dropping out of the competition, Suzi steps in. She doesn't want to win - not that she could anyways. Will something stop her too from becoming prom queen and solving the curse?


Seems like it's mystery week here on the blog. I didn't plan it, but I really do enjoy a good mystery. I'm happy that more mysteries seem to be appearing for teens. Most of my mystery reading consists of adult series. Suzi Clue: great title, great cover, lots of fun. Plus it surrounds prom - which is something girls in my library can't get enough of. It's currently sitting on my prom display. I bet it won't be there for long before someone gobbles it up. It's a fun entertaining read with a snarky best friend, a crush on a foreign exchange student, and a rebel girl who likes Nancy Drew.
