About book The Reinvention Of Moxie Roosevelt (2010)
Oh my goodness. I loved this book. I had so much fun reading it, and I absolutely adored Moxie and her friends and the whole set-up. The talent show and coming clean totally cracked me up. Although Moxie is 13 (and this is totally perfect for the story), this same story would have worked if the girls were 14 or 16 or 18. (Frankly, since I've never been to boarding school, there were a number of moments where I totally pictured my freshman dorm and the girls on my hall.) This should appeal to anyone who has ever tried to be someone else or even wished they could reinvent themselves. And honestly, haven't most girls thought about reinventing themselves when they went to a new school or camp or joined a club or even traveled somewhere that no one knew them? And some of us pondered this multiple times! This book is fabulous and should have wide appeal. Not to be missed. Moxie Roosevelt Kipper has endured thirteen years of being an ordinary girl with an unordinary name. Now that she's entered boarding school, the time is ripe to reinvent herself. She'll become unusual, outlandish, unexpected, sassy—someone worthy of a name like “Moxie.” From Mysterious Earth Goddess to Hale and Hearty Sports Enthusiast; from Detached, Unique, Coolly Knowing Individual to Assertive Revolutionary Activist, Moxie tries them all, while keeping her true talent for piano-playing a secret. But at boarding school, Moxie isn't the only one who isn't what she claims to be. (Ages 10-14)
