As mentioned from my last post- Word Nerd, this novel is by Susin Nielsen and is a great mixture of family difficulties and a series of hilarious events. If you also like the coupling of Amanda and Cosmo in Word Nerd, they appear here again, along with Ambrose! When Violet's mother and father break up, it becomes a tense atmosphere between her father and Violet. But Violet Gutsafson is a good girl in her heart of hearts, and she really only wants the best for her family. Even when she convinces her step-sisters that the cat poop in their sandbox is really chocolate that Santa left them. A little far from the truth, yes, but still. You could expect that from a teenage girl that wants nothing but for her life to not suck. Tough luck, Violet.
Violet is almost thirteen and in a bad stage of her life. With a dad that left for a drop-dead gorgeous actor, two stepsisters that she shares the same dad with but they come out stunningly cute, two annoying girls from school otherwise known as 'Thing One' and 'Thing Two', a boy she admitting has a crush on, and a person with the unfortunate last name of 'Weiner', she doesn't have a lot of people she can turn to for help. The only person is probably her best friend, Pheobe. So when they start to get on an argument, Violet feels really really really horrible. So she decides that she is going to take the family matters into her own hands and do something about her mother's 'single' status. Except these things never seem to go the way that it is supposed to. With the help of a Magic 8 ball, an accident with a golf cart, a wedding, and Facebook, Violet Gutsafson digs her own grave. Yet maybe there is still a chance for a happily ever after.....
Dear George Clooney Please Marry My Mom is an amazing tale about family hardships, arguments, vows, and phone calls. Susin Nielsen sure knows how to get twelve 'almost thirteen' girls into deep trouble. Especially if where girl's father is at work on a set, she's not liable to drive, and George Clooney's car is parked right next to some camels. Nice. Once again, I have to spout that Susin Nielsen is an amazing writer and one that writes books that are so hilarious, you will get a six pack in one reading from laughter. Wonderful exercise!
**** I give this book a 9.56 out of 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Spectacular!*****
