1. The Miraculous Makeover of Lizard Flanagan
Twelve-year-old Lizard Flanagan can’t believe it when her best friend, Mary Ann, wears a skirt on their first day of middle school. What happened to shorts and dirty sneakers? Suddenly Mary Ann is starting to look and talk like those girly girls she and Lizard always made fun of in elementary school. What’s worse, all the sixth-grade girls are acting like they’ve caught some kind of terrible disease that makes them blush and giggle whenever a boy is around—and the boys are just as bad. All Lizard wants to do is throw around a football and hang out with her buddies, but something terrible has happened: They’ve all started “the Change,” and they’ve left her behind!
Lizard finds herself lost in a strange new world of tights, makeup, and middle school dances. Does maturity mean totally changing who she is? How can she grow up and still be herself?
2. Lizard Flanagan, Supermodel??
When Lizard Flanagan finds out about a trip to Wrigley Field to see the Chicago Cubs play—for only fifty dollars—she is thrilled. It’s her big chance to see her favorite team in action! But how is she supposed to come up with fifty dollars before the trip?
Lizard couldn’t care less about the local teen fashion show at the mall, and when she is unexpectedly chosen to be one of the models, she’s horrified. Parading around in a dress in front of other people is just not something she’s willing to do. Lizard is determined to quit the fashion show . . . until she learns that the winner will receive a prize of one hundred dollars, which would be more than enough to go see the Cubs.
In this fun sequel to The Miraculous Makeover of Lizard Flanagan, Lizard has to face her fears and show the fashion world that a tomboy can rock the catwalk too.
