I really enjoyed Maya's story. She takes popularity into her own hands. By following the steps in this book, she becomes more confident in herself and making friends happens more naturally. I liked that she tried the steps for a month, but then dropped the ones that weren't twirling for her anymore (like wearing a skirt or the diet). An excellent read for middle school and up. Note: sex Ed class is mentioned, which may change your opinion of what the target audience is.
