Advance Uncorrected Proof.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
High school senior Ashley Hannigan doesn't care about prom, but she's the exception. It's pretty much the only good thing at her urban Philadelphia high school, and everyone plans to make the most of it-especially Ash's best friend, Natalia, who's the head of the committee. Then the faculty advisor is busted for taking the prom money, and Ash suddenly finds herself roped into putting together a gala dance out of absolutely nada. But she has help-from her large and loving (if exasperating!) family, from Nat's eccentric grandmother, from her fellow classmates. And in putting the prom together, Ash learns that she has choices about her life after high school. Prom has everything that award-winning author Laurie Halse Anderson is known for-humor, poignancy, teen readers' tough issues dealt with head-on, and a voice teen readers will recognize as their own.

Received in a trade with pheelya earlier this week. Thanks a bunch! I absolutely loved it! It was very cute and not as predictable like a lot of teen lit is anymore.
Recieved this book! Cant wait to start reading it! Thanks!
I finished this book today...I thought it was cute....I could kind of relate to ashley..It was a fun book but I wouldnt read it again.
Rcvd from a request on paperbackswap.com ~ Thank you! I will be sure to read it and pass along asap. :)
I really enjoy all of this author's works, but this one was a lot more lighthearted than the ones I've read so far. I liked how it was about a "regular" teenage girl in Philly, and almost a Cinderella story, but without being cheesy or fake.

So happy to get this!!! :) Thanks so much for offering it on PBS. I will read ASAP and pass it on, probably to another BookCrosser!
My fourteenth read of 2006.
Interesting. Definitely not as "heavy" as other LHA books I've read. Early on, I wasn't sure if I was going to like the character of Ashley, but eventually she grew on me. I really liked Grandma. She was too funny.

Sending to a member of PBS. Happy reading!
