Molly goes to the county fair with her
friends and after she embarrasses herself in front of the guy that she has been
crushing on forever, she runs to a quiet corner of the fair, where she meets
Dharma. Dharma claims that she
just wants to paint Molly’s picture for practice, but while she is painting the
picture she asks questions about Molly’s dreams. Molly wishes that she was the prettiest girl in the
county. The next morning Molly
wakes up with her wish granted and draws the attention of everyone in the
neighborhood and school with her beauty.
There are a lot of perks to being pretty, including getting the
attention of the cute boy she was crushing on, but as she starts to lose
herself to the popular crowd, she loses the affection of her true friends and
her new boyfriend. In the end
Molly realizes that she just wants to be herself again, but worries whether or
not Dharma can help her again or if she will be able to keep her cute
boyfriend.
This is a good book
about realizing you need to be grateful for who you are and I really liked the
main character until she started being mean to impress the popular crowd and
then it was almost too frustrating to keep reading. The ending was satisfying though.
MS-ADVISABLE.
