Editor reviews

Cathy Hopkins introduces tomboy T. J. in the fourth book of her Mates, Dates series. T. J.'s best friend has left London, leaving her all alone in a new school. It doesn't help that she's running for editor of the school newspaper, up against a prototypical Mean Girl. But Lucy and her group of friends soon befriend her and give her a makeover, which will hopefully help her get attention from the boy she's crushing on. It's a fizzy tale that Shirley Barthelmie performs with a buoyant energy, chatty and chirpy in a way that perfectly captures the cadence of teenagers.
