From the creator of 'Lost in Guyville'...
It sucks to have big, frizzy hair and a decidedly average body, when you really want to have model good looks and a cool boyfriend. That's why Lily's on a mission to get beautified, or at least get a red-hot makeover. And the attention of her crush. Now if she could only stop that pesky unwanted visitor from messing with her plans!
More about 'Beautiful'...
Teenager Lily gets a lot of messages about what it means to be a successful and desirable woman in today's world. Seems like the bottom line is, you've got to have gorgeous looks, a winning personality... and a cute boyfriend to prove it!
'Beautiful' takes us on a poignant journey through the inner and outer voices we all struggle with. And Lily's ultimate discovery about the true nature of life itself.
Graphic novel. For ages 9 and up.

I bought this book for my daughter who will be entering middle school next year and I'm glad I read it first. While not completely awful I just don't feel as if it had a proper ending. It was very abrupt with little explanation as to why we control the voice in our head and should be ourselves, not listening to negative thoughts. The entire first 2/3 of the book she obsesses over how to win her crush, how to look pretty, what she should change which I understand, that's normal but then she has an out of body experience after an accident and BOOM! The last three pages she's okay with being just her and accepts that she is perfect the way she is. It went very in depth into the changes she should/could make then just three or so pages of her thinking she's cool the way she is. Very disappointing, I'll be donating instead of giving it to my daughter. It's also incredibly short, took me maybe 10 minutes to read it...definitely not worth $10.Product details

Beautiful A girl trip through the looking glass eBook Marie D'Abreo Reviews
It's a really BEAUTIFUL story about a girl's journey to find her true self. When I read this it really helped me understand how I always thought I was a bullied nothing, a girl who crys overs the dumbest things. To the girl who just wasn't being herself.
I enjoyed this quick read, and would recommend it to any girl or woman that has ever struggled with not feeling good enough or pretty enough being themselves. The story, illustrations, and book concept work well together to convey a message many women don't accept about themselves.
I ordered this for a friend's daughter who had surgery and she loved it!
Wonderful book with great message for girls. I've already ordered more.
I ordered this book hoping for it to be a good book to use to discuss self worth to my daughter. We finished the book in one sitting and it just didn't leave much to discuss. Not what I expected.
Though it's somewhat short, that can be a good thing like in this book because it really captures everything without adding random details that aren't important to the story. I love the way it really shows all the details in the pictures to give a really good visual instead of just describing it. The end, like the end of most books was amazing, once she can finally she just accepts who she is, other people see that she just goes for things and doesn't worry about anyones opinion as long as she's doing it for her sake, not thinking twice about other peoples' opinions on how good it looks and how pretty she is.
I wish I had had this book in middle-school and high school. Heck, I wish I had it all my life. This short graphic novel is a concise treat that will, first and foremost, engage 4th through 8th graders, but will touch women of all ages. Why? Well, because I believe women can be their own worst enemies. Many of us see "Lynx Girls" everywhere, and then we see only the worst in ourselves. Being called "Ugly" during my tween and teen years still stings. (Why is that? I've accepted my assymetrical face, the entirely recalcitrant right eyebrow, big teeth, haven't I? Hmmmm...I wonder?) Anyway...on with the review.
D'Abreo's story and art are intelligent and straightforward. She explores how the protagonist, Lily, deals with insecurities, cleverly represented by some nasty critters who enjoy attacking Lily's self-worth. They thrive on undermining her confidence and grow stronger as she tries to fight them. Even when she tries to "rebrand" herself by reading a magazine entitled "Self-Esteem," she discovers that the deceptive little tome only feeds her "demons." In desperation, she tries to escape them, but she finds that she cannot. Then Lily asks the creatures to name themselves, and she discovers that the monsters don't really exist. Only then is she able to follow the path to her "true self," a self that doesn't find physical beauty all that important.
A great message I can sink my extraordinarily large teeth into.
