My Big Nose and Other Natural Disasters By Syndey Salter

Jory is getting ready to embark on her senior year.  But there are a few things that she wants to accomplish over the summer that are essential to senior year success.  One is to find her passion.  Jory is very uncoordinated and appears to lack grace.  She tries yoga, after her mother’s cabbage soup diet…not a good combination.  Her second goal is to turn her crush on Tyler into a reality. But Tyler and her friends have other plans.  And finally, she has to get a summer job to save up for a nose job.  She is convinced that having a more perfect nose will make her more appealing to everyone.

Let’s just say that Salter weaves an intricate tale of “You can’t always get what you want” and “the grass isn’t always greener” through a series of hilarious and heartwarming mishaps all starring Jory and her friends.  I read this book in one sitting and have already dug into the next one that Ms. Salter sent me for the library!  I was thirty pages into Swoon at Your Own Risk when I realized I was burning dinner!  Ms. Salter is an author to watch…check out her website:  http://www.sydneysalter.com/.
