Magna & Making Waves by Nicole O'Dell are a wonderful resource for young teen girls and even adults like me. I've really enjoyed the Scenarios books for girls - these latest two being the third and fourth book. The first two: Truth or Dare and All that Glitters were great as well! These are Christian based books that portray the main character in a story and then give the reader two directions that the main character can take when she's forced to face a tough situation. You can of course read both routes as I do. The reader gets to see what happens to the main character based on which decision she makes. These books carry many good messages for young girls as they address the pressures that young girls feel in this world today. I absolutely recommend these books!Magna follows Molly Jacobs as she is navigating the normal life of a teen girl. Molly and her best friends decide that they need to get jobs so they'll have some extra money for some cool clothes and all the other things important to a teen girl. After getting permission from their parents to look for part time jobs the girls put their heads together to see what would be the best place for them to apply. They come up with the popular clothing store Magna and apply. Much to their excitement they secure interviews but the only one hired ends up being Molly. Molly seems to really have a knack for putting outfits together for people and in short order is doing very well at the store and receives a promotion.But along with the great job comes the peer pressure as well. All of a sudden girls at school who never paid any attention to her are asking her for favors and if that isn't bad enough her best friends start pressuring her too. What will Molly do?
Review by Jill WilliamsonThis is a two-books-in-one volume that is the second volume in Nicole O'Dell's series Scenarios- Interactive Fiction for Girls. Read each story, then choose what the main character will do next by choosing one of two alternate endings. I highly recommend this series to all girls. These are fun stores with relatable characters that give the reader a chance to see each side of a major choice. I've given a review of each story below.MagnaMolly and her friends want to find a part time job to earn extra cash and a discount on great clothes. But Molly is the only one of her trio that gets hired at Manga, the coolest clothing store ever. At first everything is going great. Molly is really good at her job and quickly gets more responsibility. But some girls at school try to bully her into giving her special deals and then her best friends ask her to do something she knows is wrong. What will Molly do?You decide.Whether Molly chose to break the law or stand against her friends, she was still Molly. There were consequences to both choices, and some consequences were harder to live through than others, but the story wasn't preachy. It was honest. So even in the ending where Molly chose to break the law, there was still redemption, and it was neat to read how she dealt with such humbling circumstances.Making WavesAn avid lake swimmer, sophomore Kate Walker tries out for the swimming team. Not only does she make the team, she makes varsity and becomes the best swimmer on the team. Her coach talks with her about the future and the possibilities of college scholarships. Kate is excited, but her new schedule has her so busy, it's hard to keep up.
