Gr 6-9 Lynn is a fashion diva, so much of one, in fact, that she is ahead of the curve. She scouts trends seasons in advance and customizes her own clothes. On a daily basis she expresses herself through her wardrobe. Most people just don't get her style. Her pink tutu and navy plaid shirt outfit grant her nothing but stares. But Lynn doesn't mind. She's used to the jibes, the names, and being highly visible. But things change drastically when she goes to try out for the "GlITer Girl" IT panel. She trips, and one of her fashion-forward ideas lands on the lunch of her fashion-designer icon. Suddenly she is an "IT Girl." People ask her advice and try to copy her unique style. Companies want to buy her ideas. Popular kids want to be her BFF. For Lynn, the real issue becomes staying true to herself and not getting lost amid the masses. "Lynn Visible" is a sweet story with one core theme. While few readers will identify with Lynn's particularly zany sense of fashion, they will love her spirit and vivaciousness."Melyssa Malinowski, Kenwood High School, Baltimore, MD" Copyright 2010 Media Source Inc.
As a high school freshman, aspiring designer Lynn Vincent isn't trying to fit in; she's trying to express herself through her eclectic sense of style. Lynn is willing to suffer for her art, but everything changes when she becomes the star of an online fashion magazine. Although her character sometimes seems unrealistically irreproachable, readers will cheer for Lynn as she stitches her way toward a satisfying conclusion.
