Bloggrls, Book One: Nugrl90 (Sadie) (Bloggrls) (Bloggrls)

Sadie, a.k.a. nugrl90, finds out one day that her semi-happy teen life is taking a serious turn toward disaster. Not only are her parents really, truly getting divorced (as they've threatened a hundred times), but now her family is moving! She has to share a room with WS (Wicked Sister) and start the school year as 'the new girl.' So Sadie creates a blog to sort out every W3TP (What's Wrong With This Picture?) that has suddenly entered her life. When Sadie meets BB (Buff Boy), she thinks that maybe her luck is changing. Could this be Sadie's chance to fit in at her new school? Or will a relationship with BB isolate her even more? Through it all, Sadie has her blog--where she vents to friends and where she discovers the inner strength to keep moving forward. Written entirely in blog style, complete with a unique 'clicktionary' explaining blogspeak and scattered hand-drawn artwork throughout, Sadie's story will pull in readers from the very first page.

Children's Literature

In this, the first book in the Bloggrls series, Sadie's life develops from picture perfect into her favorite saying W3TP (What's Wrong With This Picture). Her parents are getting a divorce, her family is moving, she has to share a room with WS (her Wicked Sister), and that is just the tip of her troubles. As the new girl in school, Sadie struggles to find a new social niche, complete with new VBF (Very Best Friend) and BBF (Best Boy Friend). By the fourth week of school, Sadie has found both of these essentials, even though she is socially not as popular as she would like to be. As school progresses, Sadie begins to realize that things and people are not always what or who they appear to be. Told in Blog style, complete with Clicktionary and comments from various bloggers, this book uses a popular teen mode of communication to delve into the complex issues of abusive boyfriends and depression. Sadie has an authentic teen voice, which allows readers to love her and root for her, even when you begin to hate what she is doing and who she is becoming. Despite the story line occasionally reading like an after school special, Dellasega still manages to write a book that will entertain and enlighten. Reviewer: Melissa Joy Adams

Fifteen-year-old Sadie writes on her blog about having to move to a new high school at the beginning of sophomore year due to her parents' divorce, finding and losing a true love and a best friend, and being in therapy and taking antidepressants.
