Topic: Dyan Sheldon


  
  Candlewick Press - Authors & Illustrators
Luckily for the teenage Dyan Sheldon, a new girl moved to town who was as flamboyantly outgoing as the author was shy--and as opposites often attract, the two became best friends.
Intriguingly, Dyan Sheldon followed up CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE DRAMA QUEEN with MY PERFECT LIFE, a sequel that puts Ella (the character the author most identifies with) in the narrator's role and gives her "a chance to speak for herself." Like its predecessor, MY PERFECT LIFE was quickly hailed by critics.
Dyan Sheldon's third book with Candlewick Press, PLANET JANET, introduces a new set of characters, starring a self-absorbed British teen who shares her travails in a hilarious diary format that has been likened to a BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY for the teenage set.

 Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen review (2004) Lindsay Lohan - Qwipster's Movie Reviews
Certainly her performance will please her biggest fans, as she acts, dances and sings throughout the film, although one can only wonder what such outfits are doing in the middle of a Disney film (high school has changed a lot since my time, I suppose).
Based on a book of the same name by Dyan Sheldon, the story isn't a bad one, even if it holds very few surprises.
The real problem is the frenetic direction never lets you rest, constantly bombarding you with rainbows of colors, imaginative daydream sequences, music filling every scene, and sped-up and slowed-down action.
