The Cheerleader
The Cheerleader | Ruth Doan MacDougall
3 posts | 1 read
Here is what it was like to grow up in the 1950s in the years of ponytails, pajama parties, proms, and "parking," when to be popular was important and when, if you were a girl, being important meant being a cheerleader. THE CHEERLEADER is a best-selling novel about the loss of innocence, the growth of passion, and the awakening of ambition."A classic."--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY"One of the truest portraits of an American girl ever written."--DETROIT FREE PRESS"It's heartbreaking at times, hilarious at others, and she's got it all down beautifully."--PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER"If future historians and sociologists are ever impelled to find out what it was like to be a high school student in America at mid 20th century, they will need go no farther than THE CHEERLEADER for documentation and enlightenment...Utterly honest, accurate, and sympathetic."--KANSAS CITY STAR"A devastatingly accurate portrait of the '50s."--LIBRARY JOURNAL

Day 13 of #20Series20Days #Top20Series I‘ve only read the first few books in this series, but the tagged book is one I used to check out of the library over and over again in high school. I think it time for a reread and progressing with the series, especially since there is a new book scheduled for this year. 😊

LeahBergen I was just looking at this gift from you on my shelves! I MUST get to it. 4y
Ruthiella Looks like a fun series! 😀 4y

@rubyslippersreads , what a surprise!! I‘m so excited to read The Cheerleader (how did I miss this 1975 book as a kid?) and especially because it‘s one of your faves. The Puffin Forest is a wonderful addition to my Marlows collection, too, and the Austen novels card is lovely! ❤️❤️

The bookmark is hidden because it is so glorious that it‘s getting its own post. 😂😂

Thank you SO much, my friend! 😘😘
