Pinata Parties


We've really been into Pinata's lately. I've been dreaming about making a giant pinata, but until then, we've been working on smaller versions. Last week we made the basic shell, and this week during Unplugged, we are painting the pinatas, hopefully they will be all ready for the ultimate Pinata Party at Teen Advisory Group. Oh yes. We'll be smashing the pinatas.


Unplugged: 04/08 at 4PM


Teen Advisory Group: Pinata Party

Pure


Tabitha and her five best friends have something in common. They've promised each other to stay "pure" until marriage. Each girl made this promise when they were in middle school and all of them have the purity rings to prove it. But in high school, things get a little tricky. Tabitha meets a boy who makes her knees weak and one of her friends breaks their vow, causing a major rift in her group. Tabitha is caught in the middle and doesn't know what to do. What do you do when everyone seems to be right?


I really liked Terra Elan McVoy's Pure because it didn't take sides. A lot of books, especially for teens can have a "black or white" approach. Things get over the top and the good guys are very good and the bad guys are horrible. Pure was all about the shades of grey. Just when you decided to side with one character, you get the other view and you are confused all over again. That is a feeling I definitely remember having as a teenager and McVoy really captured it.
