Bad Example
My almost 8yr old daughter begged me to buy this series for her after she saw the catchy title and cover in the store. I consider myself a pretty laid back mom, but I feel that this series is very inappropriate for children. I read about halfway through the first book with my daughter and was very uncomfortable with how the writer was labeling peers as dorks, losers and rating them on the popularity scale. I also did not find it funny at all how the young girl in the book seemed to have a hateful obsession toward a "popular" girl in her school. The more I read, the more I felt like these books needed to go back to the store. Now to be fair, my daughter thought the books were funny and entertaining; however, the moment she called her little sisters losers and threatened to cut their hair off with scissors- that made up my mind!
