THE RULE OF THIRDS Pippa Greene, Book 1

This first book in a series about high school junior Pippa Green introduces us to a girl still grieving the death of her father while she navigates the dramas of high school life and prepares for an important photography contest. Narrator Ana Sani captures Pippa's voice with all the snark, slang, and self-centeredness of the contemporary teen in today's social-media-driven culture. Sani uses subtle changes in delivery to differentiate the cast of characters. Pippa's voice shows her range of emotions--from grief to confidence to neediness. Best friend Dace sounds like a self-absorbed wannabe model, Dylan sounds empathic yet mysterious, and Ben's swagger and creepiness come through in his tone.
