December 1, 2011
I wish I could go back in time to my middle school days so I could take lessons from Louise Lambert, the vintage wearing protagonist of The Time Traveling Fashionista by Bianca Turetsky. Seriously, Louise is all that even if she doesn’t realize it herself.

Also, if you love a good revolution or talk of a revolution, I absolutely recommend Fly Trap without reservation.
