One is named the prettiest, one the ugliest. The girls who arent picked are quickly forgotten. The girls who are become the center of attention, and each reacts differently to the experience. n n With THE LIST, Siobhan Vivian deftly takes you into the lives of eight very different girls struggling with issues of identity, self-esteem, and the judgments of their peers. Prettiest or ugliest, once youre on the list, youll never be the same.
