INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Bowe, Julie

Birthday Glamour!

(4) 4-6 Victoria Torres, Unfortunately Average series. These first installments each, as the series title suggests, focus on a sixth-grade girl whose unremarkable-ness in various arenas of middle school (from math to cheerleading to music) serves as a source of tension. In each case, Victoria predictably discovers that she can stand out in other ways--by being a good friend, for example. Unremarkable but relatable middle-school fare. Review covers these Victoria Torres, Unfortunately Average titles: Birthday Glamour, Face the Music, Formula for Friends, and Pompom Problems.
