Redwood and Ponytail
Told in verse in two voices, with a chorus of fellow students, this is a story of two girls, opposites in many ways, who are drawn to each other; Kate appears to be a stereotypical cheerleader with a sleek ponytail and a perfectly polished persona, Tam is tall, athletic and frequently mistaken for a boy, but their deepening friendship inevitably changes and reveals them in ways they did not anticipate.
Book
Piglettes by Clémentine Stevenson (review)
Beauvais' translation of her own French work gives Mireille's voice the raucous comedic style of Britons Louise Rennison (Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging, BCCB 5/00) or Sue Limb (Girl, 15, Charming but Insane, BCCB 10/04).The sensibility is American-legible but definitely not American, with a lavish established food culture in the girls' hometown and a relaxed and knowledgeable attitude toward wine and its consumption.(Mireille embraces feminism but realizes that in her current school climate calling herself a feminist would actually be worse than calling herself a pig.) Beauvais makes it clear that the girls' appearance isn't just an internal issue.
