From School Library Journal Grade 8–10—Teresa is about to enter the 10th grade and her chest isn't the only thing that needs inflating. Her self-confidence is falling a little flat, too, as she stresses about dropping down the social rankings and becoming a Sub-Normal. This is a move that screams social suicide and means that she will never attract the attention of Achingly Adorable Adam (AAA), an Above-Normal. Her confidence perks up a little, along with her breasts, thanks to an air-bra that her older sister buys for her in an atypical act of generosity. There's drama at home, too—the self-centered bridezilla sister, an ailing grandfather, and a mysterious pregnancy in the family—so it isn't long before the teen's confidence is feeling just as punctured as her popped air-bra. Haworth-Attard does an excellent job of depicting the trials and tribulations of a typical teenage girl, and readers will enjoy recognizing parts of themselves in Teresa.—
