Summary: This is an outstanding book! Good for pre-teens!
Review: Deenie is a great character. Once i started to read it I didnt stop. As it turns out I read the book in 3 hours srait!! IT is a cliffhangerish book, but not quite. At the end of every chapter you want to know what is going to turn out with the girl Deenie. This is a strong and sensual book. It is just like you are thinking what Deenie is thinking because you can feel what she is going through. I have read it so many times you wouldnt believe. I reccomend this book to people who cant get their nose out of good books!

Summary: This book is a great book!!!!!!!
Review: This book was about a girl who's a teenager and has a wonderful life until one day at school she goes to school like normal, and she's at PE. Her PE. teacher asked her to bend over to see her back and she thinks something is wrong with her back. The next time she goes to the docter and finds out that she has a back problem with her spine. It wasn't staight, and at the end she ends up having to wear a brace and she doesn't like that idea. So her freinds cheer her up about it and everything, and she feels so sad and doesn't want a brace at all. She goes home to find her mom and dad fighting about her brace and that makes her feel even more upset. When she gets the brace everyone tries to make her feel good.......but, you will have to read it all!!! Its like a diary of a girl, and it's a really sad and true story!!!!!I recommend this book to everyone who loves to read diarys about people's life and everything they have to go through. I enjoy all of Judy Blume's books, and this one is especially good.

Summary: I relate!
Review: I read this book in high school mainly because I also had scoliosis. I had to wear a back brace, but unlike Deenie, I the operation as well. it was my favourite Judy Blume book as a kid because I totally releated to it and I knew how she felt about wearing a back brace. Belive me ( and her) it's no fun.

Summary: My review from a real person with Scoliosis
Review: I read Deenie and it was really good! I have Scoliosis and she felt exactly the way I did when I first saw my brace. Mine doesn't go up to my neck though, just under my arms and it's plastic. I found it to be really good except i was a little disapointed in the ending. I encourage others that have scoliosis to read this though. The story is very well written

Summary: Deenie was really good and realistic.
Review: I liked this book a lot because it showed how it feels to have parents hounding you and making you do things you don't want to do. Deenie was about a girl whos mom wanted her to be a model. But Deenie didn't want to and then she had something wrong w/her back. Its a good book I suggest you read it if you haven't. thank you.

Summary: not happy i had to explain masturbation to my 11 year old
Review: I was so glad to have my daughter read Judy Blume's books reading most of the reviews. the reality is, tough, that unless you want to explain some VERY adult concepts, make sure you don't order this author's books. maybe they should be re-classified from 9-12 age group to something older

Summary: Great book
Review: This is a very good book. I started reading it and I didn't put it down once untill it was finished. I think it is a great story and I really felt sorry for Deenie as my sister has scoliosis, but luckily she never had to wear a back brace.

Summary: Learning to deal with scoliosis.
Review: Deenie is pretty, pretty enough to be a model (which her mother wants her to be but she's not too sure)! But she has a bad posture. Until she realizes it's adolecent idiopatc scoliosis! A curvey spine?! How awful! Now she has to wear this stupid brace for four years! Great! Just what she needs! But in the end she learns to deal with it!

Summary: A little bit off from the real feelings, but well written
Review: I have a brace...and yes, it is damn hard SOMETIMES, and even thought I dont have much difficulty with it, it helps to know you can turn to a book like this to read about someone who is going through similar problems. The feelings werent exactly "hitting the nail on the head" but basically the idea is laid out nicely and its well written, for all its worth being its a preteen style novel. Overall, a very good job trying to capture the feelings and situation of Deenie.
