Best Foot Forward

By Joan Bauer

-Reviewed by: Ruth Allen

-Rating: Ok

What do you think the main character is like in this book? An average teenage girl? Wrong.

Jenna Boller is not your average girl. She is in the 11th grade and stands at 5’11 and has a weakness for doughnuts. She lives in Chicago, with her mom and little sister and works at Gladstone Shoes. She also goes to Al-Anon meetings. Al-Anon, for those who don’t know, is a recovery group for people wt Forward!ho have alcoholics in their lives. In Jenna’s case it is her dad, who left their family. The group meets at a Catholic church. Jenna goes because of the guilt she has for turning over her dad to the cops for drunk driving while she was in the car.

I found this book to be a quirky bitter-sweet take on life. So did Jenna ever see her dad again? Is Jenna still in Al-Anon? And what of Gladstone Shoes? Is she still working there? Is the company still there? If you want to find out, just pick up a copy of Joan Bauer’s Best Foot Forward.

My Awesomely Bad Review
CAUTION! If you don’t like being entertained this movie is not for you!

A series of misfortune becomes apart of the three Baudelaire’s life, thanks to the wicked Count Olaf, a vile relative who only wants their fortune. But with Violet’s talent of inventing, Klaus’ remarkable memory books read, and Sunny’s bite, they can overcome any obstacle Count Olaf throws at them.

Wait now! What will befall them when Count Olaf creates the biggest unfortunate event of all?! Watch the movie to find out!

This movie sends out a good message in some parts such as when Klaus, a young reader, shows that reading gives you knowledge and that knowledge helps you out of a predicament. The scenes can get pretty spooky for the younglings and has a depressing look to it but the movie has many funny scenes, mostly with Count Olaf in them. This movie is for all ages and a dreadfully brilliant entertainment.
