Lydia and I were in eighth grade when we came up with our Grand Plan to go to cosmetology school and get jobs to build our clientele while we earned business degrees. Then we’d open our own salon . . .
Now Charlotte and Lydia are juniors, in a Cosmetology Arts program where they’ll get on-the-job training and college credits at the same time. The Grand Plan is right on schedule.Which means it’s time for Step Two: Win the Winter Style Showcase, where Cos Arts and Fashion Design teams team up to dazzle the judges with their skills.Charlotte is sure that she and Lydia have it locked up—so sure, in fact, that she makes a life-changing bet with her mother, who wants her to give up cos for college.
And that’s when things start going off the rails.
As the clock ticks down to the night of the Showcase, Charlotte has her hands full. Design divas. Models who refuse to be styled. Unexpectedly stiff competition. And then, worst of all, Lydia—her BFF and Partner in Cos—turns out to have a slightly different Grand Plan . .
Like 45 Pounds (More or Less), K.A. Barson’s Charlotte Cuts it Out is a funny, relatable story set in the heart of the Midwest, just right for girls who have big dreams of their own.
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 8 Up—High school junior Charlotte Pringle wants desperately to win the Style Showcase in her cosmetology arts program with her best friend Lydia. Charlotte has a grand plan for them both to attend junior college and then to open a successful salon, scoring hot boyfriends along the way. However, her grand plan is fantastically derailed when Lydia defects to the culinary arts program, the boy she is chasing turns out to be the boy her best friend is dating, and her overbearing personality drives half her team for the showcase to jump ship. Pushy, self-centered Charlotte must learn to see herself and change or else risk losing all the things she cares about. Readers will admire the hero's gumption, grit, and moments of genuine kindness; however, they may also be frustrated by her tendency to talk over others, micromanage situations, and generally act bullheaded. To use Charlotte's pet phrase, "Oh my lanta," this character is difficult to love. Readers will relate to the familiar teen problems of coping with family relationships, choosing a college, and working out friend drama. Yet the setting of an alternative high school makes these familiar conflicts seem unique. The upbeat, smooth-talking dialogue peppered with light swearing moves the story along at a brisk pace. VERDICT Great for readers interested in fashion and cosmetology; an additional purchase otherwise.—Mariah Manley, Salt Lake City Public Library
