Deenie is a pretty inspiring book. Deenie grew up in a world where her mother and everyone else gives her high expectations, she was expected to become a great model. However, everything changes when the doctor announces that Deenie has scoliosis, to fix her spine and prevent further dangers, she has to wear a brace. With this brace, Deenie feels insecure and lacks her usual confidence. She has to learn to overcome this challenge and face her life with a positive attitude. This story is really great, I think it teaches 2 lessons. One of them is not living under other's expectations, our life is controlled by our own hands. We should go after our own dreams and not be limited through people's expectations for us. Another lesson is looks can't judge a person. Deenie might not be able to look as glamorous as she was before, however, as long as she has a true heart, it doesn't really matter. So Deenie is a truly great book.
I recommend this book because it's interesting and if you don't have anything to read you could read this book.
it look okay
This is a really simple description; this book is about a thirteen-year-old girl who want to be a model but, then she finds that she has a deformation in her spine called scoliosis. Life isn't as easy as it may seem.
i think this is a great book becuase sometimes, it seems like life just doesnt make it the way you want it. In the book, Deenie doesnt want to become a model while here mom keeps on bugging to become one. And then Deenie finds out her spine is not the way it should be which means she has to wear a brace on her back... which gets her mom so angry becuase that means without the perfect posture and stuff, Deenie could most likely never become a model. the good thing is that she makes new friends in the end... I would recommend this book, but this book doesnt have a big plot and a huge climax.
This is a good book about a girl who's mom wants her to be a model even though she doesn't want to. But she finds out that she has scoliosis and her mom blames it on her. But Deenie is embarrassed to wear it. This is a good book, but its hard for most people to relate. And its not like there is a big climax leading to some big thing. The pot is just a little boring.
omg best book eva
In the book ''Deenie'' there was a girl named Wilmadene but is called Deenie for short. Deenie was buetiful and her mom was always pestering her about her futureas a model. But the thing is Deenie didn't even want to be a model but no matter what her mom would always take her to modeling agencys. But who knew a problem with your spine could change everything especially make your own mom drive you even crazier. In this book review, I will be telling you some positives and negatives I had toward this book. One thing that I liked about this book was that Deenie's big sister Helen tried to comfort Deenie after finding out about her crooked spine. On page 66, it says ''Later Helen came to my room with a piece of chocolate cake and a glass of milk.'If I had scolisis I'd want to talk about it.''' A next positive that I liked was that Deenie's dad was strict about making Deeni keep her brace on until she got better.To prove that statement it says in page 142''The day I found out about your brace I promised myself I'd be firm'' I really admired all the support that Helen and Deenie's dad gave her. Don't you? I have a few negatives about this book and one of them is the fact that Deenie's parents does'nt push her hard enough to do her school work. In the book it says on page 7 ''Deenie's the buety and Helen's the brain'' To be honest with you I personally think that was mean don't you? A next negative opinion is on page 105, it says ''Daddy stood up and reached for my hand but I pulled away and wouldn't let him touch me.'' Deenie did that after her dad and her had a disaggreement. I just feel thatDeenie was acting a little spoiled. Don't you agree for her to do that to your own father who has been supporting you? The book Deenie was ok. The reason why I didn't reccomend it was becuase I felt the book was a little boring. But I enjoyed reading it a little.
I've seen this book a few times and I'd love to read it. It sounds so interesting and unique, and the characters sound pretty cool too :) This book is also by Judy Blume so I would love to read it!
