Award winning Laurie Halse Anderson wrote PROM a story about a "normal kid" named Ashley Hannigan. Many teens spend hours planning out there prom night to the point where it has to be perfect. Ashley was not one of them girls, she could care less about Prom. Ashley only worried about graduating from Carceras High School, and her many detentions that had to be served. Ashley had a boyfriend named TJ who was barely ever around, a crazy family, and a best friend Natalia who was head of the Prom committee. When Nat found out the math teacher had stolen all the money Ash had no choice but to help, But with the assistance of her family, her friends, and the school staff it all worked out. It's unlikely to have Ashley, a girl who hates prom, at last minute pull off Prom on a very low budget but in the end it turned out perfect and not only made everyone happy but changed Ashley's thoughts in all sorts of ways; Read this book to find out how Ashley pulled it off!
-->This book was very interesting and made me realize that its not always just about yourself. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to other teenage girls.
-->If i had to rate this book out of 1-10; 10 being the highest i would give it an 8 =)
