Fancy White Trash by Marjetta Geerling - OPTIONAL


Geerling, Marjetta Fancy White Trash, 257 pgs. Penguin Group

Language: PG, Sexual Content: PG-13, Violence: PG

HS- OPTIONAL

Abby Savage has always watched her sisters catching boys and casting them aside. She didn't want to be like any of them. Her family is like one huge soap opera; her mom breaks up with her father, re-marries, then breaks up again. Two of her sisters come home pregnant and then her mother is also pregnant. Living in this kind of situation has taught Abby to not be that fancy white trash. Instead she wants to be more than that. Will Abby succumb to what her sisters did or be better than that?

Fancy White Trash was full of tough times for Abby, but she always gets back on her feet. It shows how well she really believes in what she wanted to accomplish. There was some swearing, underage drinking, talk of sex, and other things.
