KATIE FRIEDMAN GIVES UP TEXTING, by Tommy Greenwald


The story: Challenged by her favorite singer to get a group of friends to give up texting for a week (and with an awesome prize dangling in front of her if she succeeds), Katie Friedman does what feels like the impossible: she goes phone-free for an entire week--and lives to tell about it!

June Cleaver's ratings: Language G; Violence G; Sexual content G; Nudity G; substance abuse G; magic & the occult G; GLBT content G; adult themes G; overall rating G.

Liz's comments: Charlie Joe Jackson's best friend, Katie Friedman, is a funny narrator dealing with a very real problem: kids' (and adults') seeming inability to put down their devices and engage in a face-to-face conversation. But here's proof for everyone that it can be done...and with minimum casualties! For those unfamiliar, the "Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to..." series is a LOL take on middle school life that will appeal to both boys and girls.
