Your summer job's got nothing on this! Read 52 Reasons to Hate My Father


 

Check these out, too...

  • 8 BFF Reads: Characters' friendships you won't want to miss
Lexington Larrabee is the girl everyone wishes they could be. She’s carefree, super fun, and gets whatever she wants. And she’s about to have access her $25 million trust fund…until now.

 

Super rich and spoiled, this heiress gets a wakeup call when her never-present dad, the CEO of Larrabee Media, decides she needs to shape up once she slams her expensive Mercerdes-Benz convertible into a convenience store after a night of partying. The deal is that Lexi won’t get her trust fund until she completes 52 minimum wage jobs—a different one each week.

 

Lexi’s father wants her to appreciate working and hopes to instill values into the gal who has never worked a day in her life. Extremely hesitant, Lexi won’t do the work, until she realizes what will happen if she doesn’t: her credit cards will be canceled, bank account frozen, and allowance suspended. So, she reluctantly agrees.

 

To make it worse, Lexi’s father’s new intern, Luke Carver, is super annoying, but kind of cute. He’s there to drive her to each job, make sure she successfully completes every task and reports her progress to her father.

 

So, what are some jobs Lexi must do? Being a maid, working in a grocery store, working at a barn, and working at a restaurant. Lexi is going to be tested, but will she learn anything from these experiences?

 

Author Jessica Brody tells the story of Lexi Larrabee—the girl who went from being a rich heiress to a working girl. 52 Reasons To Hate My Father (available now) is a fun read that will keep you turning those pages so you can find out how Lexi handles each new gig.

 

Be sure to pick up your own copy. Then come back and share your thoughts.

Like the page on Facebook: "Hold A Child's Hand"! It's for a really good cause!

Here is a good cause my friends and I are involved in, it's a page on Facebook called "Hold A Child's Hand". Here's what it's about:
There were many goals we wanted to accomplish with our project. One of our goals was to raise awareness of the importance of the preservative free drug called, Methotrexate. (a drug that helps children fighting cancer) This medication has been in short supply for some time, and we decided that we would contact the congressmen of all 50 states, as well as President Obama, to inform them of the issue. Another goal was to help families who are affected by childhood cancer. To do this, we planned many events to raise money for cancer research and financial assistance for families. Our goal was to raise at least $1000 for a foundation called “Alex’s Lemonade Stand” which focuses on finding a cure for childhood cancer, and providing funds to help families as their child endures treatment. Another goal was to raise $150 for the Ronald McDonald House Charities.
