Lizard Flanagan, Supermodel?

Elizabeth "Lizard" Flanagan who is a sports fanatic wants more then anything to go to Wrigley's Field with their friends Mary-Anne, Zach, Ed, Stinky, and her brother Sam, to see their favorite team, The Chicago Cubs, play baseball. When she gets the opportunity to go, she isn't able to, due to the fact that the trip would cost a fair amount of cash. She has already owes her parents money and can't receive another advance in allowance. She had already spent a lot of money on a speed odometer.Meanwhile the spring pines 0fashion show is taking place at the town mall, and 2 models from each school are chosen. Each participating model receives money and one model is named "Supermodel". Someone secretly enters Lizard in the contest she becomes a finalist. Now Lizard, who has terrible stage fright, has to parade around strange people in a swimsuit, and a dress! She is so worried that she will have the hiccups during the show, just as she did while giving an oral report in the fourth grade. The only upside to being a model in the fashion show is that she will be able to pay her parents' back. Also, she will be able to go to the baseball game with the money she receives. Also, her boyfriend Zach goes through his own set of fears while playing the part of Dracula in a school play. Lizard jumps to conclusions about him liking another girl, who is another cast member in the play. She thinks this is why he is asking so strangely all of a sudden. Will Lizard loose her boyfriend? Will she make it through the fashion show? Will she relive her fourth grade hiccupping disaster? This well written book can easily be related to while reading. I thought about different people and memories while reading this book and its different events. It is exciting and comical with appealing characters. My favorite character would have to be either the fashion-show director Mrs. Landers, or a snobby classmate named Lisa St. George, who is also another contestant in the fashion-show. Even though they have practically opposite personalities. I liked Mrs. Landers because she accepted Lizard for who she was no matter what happened. Also she didn't try to re-create her as I thought she would. I thought Lisa was amusing. She was obsessed with herself throughout the book and took a random disliking to Lizard. This book is a distinctive page-turner. I think many different people would like this book, probably people who like sports, adventures, fashion, and comedy. I hope anyone who reads `Lizard Flanagan, Supermodel??' enjoys reading it as much as I did.

Lizard Flanagan is so cool!

I just recently read the book Lizard Flanagan...Supermodel??? and I think it is unbelieveably interesting and very fun to read. I thought the title sounded a little cheesy at first, but then i got onto reading it and I just couldnt put the book down! I really liked this book and I love the originality of it. Thanx to Carol Gorman for writing this awesomely cool book!

An Awesome Book!

Lizard Flanagan, Supermodel? was a great book. I had never heard of the author or the Lizard Flanagan books and I bought one and loved it. It is a really great example of the things that really do happen in real life with teenagers!

This book is a mix of teen romance and teen problems.

This book goes through the changes of Lizard Flanagan's 6th grade life. It is very interesting. I suggest you read the firt book before you read this. (the Maraculous Makeover of Lizard Flanagan)
