MATES, DATES AND INFLATABLE BRAS

At age 14, Lucy looks 12, while her friends can easily pass for 16-year-olds. Narrator Amanda Hulme is irresistible as Lucy and her friends, Izzy and Nesta. Hulme captures the bittersweet emotions Lucy experiences as she sets her sights on a boy, makes difficult decisions, and copes with a new girl becoming part of a longstanding friendship. There’s humor aplenty as the girls resort to tarot cards, discover inflatable bras, and get bad haircuts. Young listeners will see themselves in many of the situations.
