Blue Lipstick

Okay, maybe blue lipstick’s not quite right for Jessie. And maybe her new hairstyle isn’t either. But at least she’s never boring or predictable. Who else do you know who plays volleyball and cello, designs her own clothes, and writes poetry to her cat?

Jessie’s definitely a girl with strong opinions, and she isn’t shy about sharing them. Of course that sometimes leads to friction—with parents, her younger brother, her classmates, and certain English teacher who assign totally lame homework.

Jessie’s funny, sarcastic take on high school life is revealed through concrete poetry. The poems are inventive, irreverent, irresistible, and full of surprises—just like Jessie.
