A Very Good copy of Advance Uncorrected Proofs of "[a] Cinderella story as only Laurie Halse Anderson could tell it." Front cover illustration has the rear of a limo which has the title written on the window in shaving cream, the bottom of a prom dress caught in the door and a pink carnation tied to the aerial. Very slight shelf wear to cover. Smudging but no wrinkle along spine. Fingerprints are smudged on back cover. 220 pages. Lain in between pages 54 & 55 is a reviewer card. From front flyleaf:"Ages: 12 up, Grades: 7 up."From back cover:"Prom was different for them. Dichelle, she lived with a foster family who had nothing, but everybody had pitched in to buy her a dress and shoes. Junie had been dating Charles since freshman year, and he was going into the army right after graduation and we were all sure he was going to ask her to marry him at prom. Monica, her mom died of cancer last year--if anyone deserved a dance, it was that girl." From Publisher Description:"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." - from Amzon
