Say No to the Dress

Description

A must-read coming-of-age story that gives an authentic look at the awkward and beautiful times of growing into your own skin.

Miri is fourteen, and in the last year she's grown six inches, expanded in all directions, and is plagued by bouts of uncontrollable acne. Life already feels like a nightmare, and now she's been asked to be a bridesmaid twice.

Two weddings and two bridesmaid dresses--could things get any worse? They can, and they will. Her brother is getting married to Scarlett, whose sister is Tiffany--Miri's nemesis at school.

Plus, Tiffany is the other bridesmaid, and, if that's not bad enough, the pink satin dress they've chosen makes Miri feel like a stuffed sausage.

This sharp-witted story of family, friendship, and embracing your true self (no matter what you're forced to wear) is perfect for fans of Dumplin' and Fat Chance, Charlie Vega.
