Her cousin Barry, a senior heartthrob, and brainy varsity letterman, insists that looking good on paper is the key to success. But Presley's young aunt Betsi, a former homecoming queen, has her own ideas about good looks and how to use them. \"Can you keep a secret?\" Betsi asks Presley, who, at age fourteen, is eager for entrée into the adult world of beauty, attraction, and romance. But as Presley is about to discover, some secrets should never be revealed. Will the illicit thrill of being a trusted confidante, privy to the details of muddled entanglements and incompatible desires, be worth the consequences of guilt by association? Propelled by the crash of falling idols, The Girl I Wanted to Be is a timeless and true portrait of passion, loss, and hard-won wisdom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Grace McCandless\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.62w x 0.46d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743285186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e114399 \/ Girl I Wanted to Be: A Novel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/03\/2006 pg. 37\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2006 pg. 373\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2006 pg. 29\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2006 pg. 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist Ed Choice Adu Bk YA's\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2007 pg. 11\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMcCandless, Sarah Grace:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eSarah Grace McCandless\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eGrosse Pointe Girl\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis item is \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot Returnable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40117442609267,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_a2c78f1b-3547-4d95-8e27-e42cea4dd050.jpg?v=1653576006","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-girl-i-wanted-to-be-9780743285186","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
