How To Be Popular by Meg Cabot

POPULAR: adj. Widely liked or appreciated; liked by acquaintances; sought after for company.
Popularity. We all want it. Why? Because being popular means being liked. Everyone wants to be like. Sadly, however, not all of us are. What do popular people have in common that makes them all so popular?
They all have: *A friendly way about them. *An eagerness to pitch in and help get the job done. *An interest in everything that goes on at work or school. *A look that’s fresh and neat.
These aren’t traits popular people were born with. They’ve cultivated the characteristics that make them so popular… …and you can, too, by following the tips in this book! (Intro page)
Steph Landry is tired of being the least popular person in her class, the butt of every joke. Besides that certain Big Red Super Big Glup catastrophe was so long ago, five years to be exact. So she has decided to enlist the help of THE BOOK, a book devoted to helping you become popular. Never mind that the book was written in the 1950s and doesn’t quite fit the times. Steph has used the Book to make choices for a new and improved back to school wardrobe and she has a newfound sense of self-esteem and courage.
Maybe this year will be different. Maybe the student body will like her idea of using a talent auction to raise money for the senior class trip. Maybe Mark Finley, the most popular guy in school, will notice her. Maybe people will forget about her one clumsy mistake and see that she is new and improved. And maybe her friends won’t think she’s losing her mind. Find out what happens when Steph decides to change herself and figure out HOW TO BE POPULAR.
