September 23, 2009: Book Review Outline

Book title and author: Violet on the Runway by Melissa Walker

Title of review: Violet on the Runway

Number of stars (1 to 5): 5

Introduction

I enjoyed reading this book so much. I would recommend this book to any teen girl. This book is about a girl named Violet that was a tall, plain wallflower. Until one day, Angela from Tryst Models in New York City, walked up to her and said that she was model material and wanted her to be a model for Tryst Models. I thought this book was amazing.

Description and summary of main points

Melissa Walker is the author of this book. I think she did an excellent job of getting lessons that everyday teens go through. One of them are that Violet had to leave her friends for modeling and choose to be friends with the popular girls rather than her real friends. Another lesson in the book is that Violet has to share a room with another model, Veronica Trask, who is not only mean, but the "it girl" of Tryst Modeling. Violet eventually befriends her and sees the "real" Veronica Trask.

Evaluation

My opinion on this book is that it is a great book for teens, because most teens face some problems that Violet has had in the story also. It is an excellent book that is hard to put down. The plot of this book is that Violet was asked by Angela from Tryst Models to be a model. Violet ends up going to New York City for Tryst Models. She starts out slow to see how much potential she has, and they realize that she has very much potential. While juggling modeling, school, friends, and deciding weather to got to prom or not it has an excellent ending. The theme of this book is "Looks aren't everything, life is more important."

Conclusion

The conclusion of this book is that Violet decides to go to prom instead of going to a photo shoot that could be a chance of a lifetime. Her real friends go with her, and Violet realizes that she would rather be with her real friends then her fake popular friends. This book has an excellent ending and teaches a valuable lesson. Every teen has to face choosing your real friends and your fake friends, Violet has to face the same, and the author really gets to the point in this lesson.

Your final review

My final review on this book is that it was an excellent book. I loved reading it and literally could not put it down. I would highly recommend this book to any teen girl that likes reading about other teen girls facing everyday problems in life. Melissa Walker is an amazing author and she did an excellent job on writing this book. You should read this book to see how great it is.

September 17, 2009: Violet wants to be popular, even though she hates the popular girls. When a fashion agent spots her in at her job and offers her a modeling position, Violet leaps at the chance. Soon she's spending fashion week in New York City and having a great time. But her friends back home aren't thrilled for her and she begins to wonder if they are jealous or if it's something more. When she starts hanging out with the popular girls, she upsets her friendships with her two best friends. Then she decides that she wants to leave high school early and try her hand at modeling before college. Can she make it in the modeling world, or will the City eat this southern girl alive?

A great story about being comfortable in your own skin and finding your place in the world. Violet knows that once she's in New York, she can reinvent herself and become the person she thinks she can be.
