Review

Our main character must have been a geek in the first book of the Geek Girl series but Harriet has become a somewhat polished (not so much) model who has been offered the opportunity of a lifetime this summer. There are road blocks that almost crimp her style but off she goes to Japan to model for a high-strung designer where she rooms with two other teen models. This book is fluff, it possess some sexual tension and lots of unrealistic situations.

If the sexual attraction was removed and the parental figures were more involved this could be a grade 4-6 novel. Actually the short chapters and the cover will appeal to a younger audience. Perhaps intended for young teens the Geek Girl series is probably being read by pre-teens.

Overall Book Score: good
