Jinx
by J. Torres (Author), Terry Austin and Rick Burchett (Illustrators)
Booktalk: In this new series, Li’l Jinx has now grown up and and is getting ready for her first day of high school. She can’t wait to see her friends—all of the friends she’s hung out with since she was a little girl. There’s no reason for any of them to start acting weird, like, not want to sit with her at lunch, or want to date her or anything…right? It’s not like everything changes in high school…is it?
Snippet:
(As Jinx walks down the hallway, the other students talk about her…)
Hey!
That’s the “tomboy”…
…who wants to join the football team.
Check it out, It’s the grafitti artist…
…who messed up Coach’s sign-up sheet!
…It’s an obvious cry for help..
..I mean look at her!
What is she supposed to be, some kind of feminist?
