Remember all the angst of high school society? Ahhh, good times ... well, maybe not. For the girls of the secret Pink Locker Society, helping their fellow classmates swim through the muddy waters of popularity is not always an easy job. And when one of them has a pressing problem of her own, will the gals be able to put aside their objectivity to help their friend in a time of crisis?
Getting tangled up in little white lies is the focus of Debra Moffitt's third Pink Locker Society book, THE FOREVER CRUSH, and she delivers this story with lots of humor and plenty of compassion as well.
Long time crush, Forest, has finally asked Jemma to be his girlfriend, but just his pretend one. He's tired of being constantly pursued by the girls at school, and thinks that if he and Jemma pretend to be a couple, he can finally get a few minutes peace. Being the sweet girl she is, Jemma goes along with the ruse, but finds herself in an awkward position when she realizes that she really does have a thing for Forest!
Jemma knows she can't tell her friends the truth, so she slips a letter into the Pink Locker, hoping for an answer that will solve her problem of what to do about her new feelings. But will the society be around long enough to answer back? Someone has it out for the PLS, and is determined to see them shut down once and for all. The girls, and their mentors, are frantic to find the devious culprit.
The Pink Locker Society books are a great series, directed at tween girls, 11 to 13. Moffitt addresses the crucial subjects, like the first kiss, the first crush, etc., with this charming series, and it was a pleasure to find them sweetly innocent, but informative as well.
When the going gets tough, the tough get ... pink! Someone
wants the Pink Locker Society gone, but Jemma and her BFFs
are sticking together. "Shut down the PLS - or else!" A
mysterious someone keeps sending Jemma, Kate, and Piper
threatening messages, but they won't stop the Pink Locker
Society. They know the girls at their middle school need
them. Who else will answer their questions about everything
from bras to boys? And, the truth is, Jemma has just
(secretly) submitted a question of her own. It's about
Forrest, her forever crush. He asked her to be his pretend
girlfriend and she said yes! Jemma promised to tell no one
the truth about their relationship, but can she keep it
from everyone, including her best friend, Kate? Not that
Kate seems to have noticed - she's suddenly obsessed with
whether people think she's fat. Beautiful Piper doesn't
need to worry about that. She just wants to know if Forrest
and Jemma have kissed. But does a real kiss with your
pretend boyfriend still count?
