Teen Book Character's Outfits

Earlier in the year, the Otis Library hosted a contest on Pinterest, posting pins of character's outfits from Polyvore. I've made several of these and quite enjoy it. I hope to start making more. In the mean time, here's a look at the ones I created.

Tween Tuesday Review: Masquerade

**Tween Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at GreenBeanTeenQueen to highlight great reads for tweens. Join the fun! **   

* #16 in the Canterwood Crest Series*

Lauren can't wait to turn 13 on Halloween. Not only is it her favorite time of year, but she'll finally be a teen. Plus Khloe and their friends are planning a massively awesome party. Lauren and Khloe decide to make the party glam by creating a formal masquerade. 


Before the night of the big party, LT has to finish her first competitive horse showing with Whisper, continue working hard during lessons, keep up with her studies, start running with Drew, and have time for a little bit of fun.


She also has a secret wish for her birthday - a kiss from a certain boy. Will her birthday wish be granted?

My Thoughts: Holy Cliff Hanger Ending!  I'm addicted to this series for the drama, the friendship, the horses, and small doses of romance. I love how Khloe plans the party, with LT knowing some details, but also surprised her with others. I love the idea of the party. Mostly, I just love the characters, including the horses, and following their lives. I can't wait to read the next installment!

Tween Tuesday Review: Initiation

Lauren was so excited at being accepted into Canterwood Crest - now that she's here, she's nervous about fitting in. She has doubts the moment she meets her new roommate.

Quickly, she learns that her roommate's first words were an act. Khloe quickly becomes her new BFF and tour guide. She helps Lauren navigate through the buildings and more importantly the stables.

Soon, Lauren's meeting new friends. While she loves the social aspect of Canterwood, she still has her placement test to take.

One girl Lauren meets keeps trying to intimidate her. Lauren's not falling for Riley's mind games. She'd sooner not hang out with Riley at all, but she doesn't have much choice. Lauren's not about to become a doormat. She's not going to change. She's not ready to share her secret.

Can Lauren survive at Canterwood - with all the classes and homework, the riding lessons, and friendship drama. Will the pressure become too much for her to handle?

My Thoughts: I love Lauren's first few days at Canterwood! I loved getting to a whole new group of girls. I love the fashion and room descriptions. Canterwood seems like a cozy school - it makes me want to apply. I love how this new set of girls is so different than Sasha Silver's friends. I love how this new chapter continues and I can't wait to read more about Lauren Towers, especially after the cliff hanger ending!
