Reviewed by Jennifer Rummel for TeensReadToo.com
Cindy's tired of hearing about the prom everywhere she goes. She's so tired of it that she writes a letter to the editor of the school newspaper bashing the prom. She targets the superficial traditions of the search for the right dress, the best shoes, and the popularity contests of the king and queen.
Instead, she wishes that people would obsess over real world problems. Unfortunately, she's about the only one who feels this way -- and now the whole school's decided that she really is a freak.
Besides her two best friends (who ARE going to the prom), three people back up Cindy in her ideals. Her father is impressed with her letter, her gay SAT tutor admires her guts, and the boy she IMs thinks she's got the right idea. In fact, he turns out to be the uber-popular Adam Silver, who would rather take Cindy out on a date during prom night, but never to the prom.
This modern fairy tale takes the ball out of the equation, but still shows that the prince can fall for the princess and that they can have fun on their own terms.
