Luann 3 Sixteen Isn&39t Pretty [Paperback]

I think comic strips can enlighten as well as entertain. Adolescence is a very funny time, except when you're in it. Many teens feel alone in their struggles; I want to show them that adolescence may be scary but it isn't fatal. Finding the humor amid the horror is helpful.
Luann DeGroot is a 16 year old girl who's full of spirited personality-and agonizing confusion.

Like all teens, she's happy if she can stumble through a day without totally embarrassing herself. She lives with typical parents and an annoying older brother. Luann and her best buds, Bernice and Delta, along with a lively cast of characters from Pitts School, struggle with the euphoric highs and devastating lows that torment the life of a contemporary teen. From small events (a pop quiz) to large (a daring fire rescue),Luann 3delivers the kind of poignant, honest, amusing stories that have madeLuanna reader favorite for 21 years.
