A super fun story about the all too common battle between wanting to stand out and wanting to fit in, set against the backdrop of the fashion world.

I wasn't aware when beginning that this was a book from a series. Not aware of the characters beforehand, the beginning scenes were more confusing. The story-line was good though a little predictable.

I was surprised at how much I liked this book, I was expecting there to be fashion diva's throughout the whole book but I was pleasantly surprised. While obviously fashion was at the forefront of the novel, it was also about friendship, about loyalty, family, winning at all costs and the very talented Mickey.

I have never watched a fashion show or one of those television cat walk shows or the like so it was interesting to read about Assignment: Fashion, where the motto of the show was 'One day you're hot, the next day you're not'. So with a statement like that you are probably wondering why I would recommend this book, especially to a tween. Well apart from a couple of diva moments overall the characters are well rounded, considerate of others feelings and want truth and respect to be center of their lives.

For the young men that wish to read this book it is not just about the girls. There is a wonderful character called JC who has a very spoilt dog called Madonna. JC does lose his way a couple of times but his ultimate loyalty is to his BFF Mickey, where friendship is more important the winning.

When I got to the end of the book I was pleasantly surprised to learn the the authors were mother and daughter Sheryl Berk and Carrie Berk who is only about 13 years old. I think reading a book with an author of this age is very encouraging to other young ladies and men and it teaches them that they can also achieve things if they put their mind to it. This is one of the reasons I encourage tween's to read her books.

If you like reading about fashion, friendship and a few divaish moments then get a copy of Fashion Face-Off which is the last in a series of 5 books.
