Review: Tongue-tied and twisted
Rating: 4 out of 5

This 14-year-old heroine is so wrapped up in her own world, much of it misunderstood, that it is a huge irony she has been chosen as the high school newspaper's anonymous advice columnist.  Her replies to teenage writers are so sarcastic and unhelpful, it's hilarious.  The brief columns at the head of each chapter were my favorite part of the book.  Each week, they are the students' favorite part of the paper, too.  It is both an entertaining time and a tiresome time to live in her head for the span of this first-person story.  She is clueless and bratty and tongue tied and eloquent.  I liked it!
