filled with countless ways for teens to brighten and
energize their daily lives. Bringing out the inner

Garden Inspiration Bricks and Words-of-the-Wise

plenty of opportunities to spice up the basics or
accessorize for any occasion, from "team spirit hair

School Library Journal
Gr 5 Up-This follow-up to The Crafty Diva's D.I.Y.
Stylebook (Watson-Guptill, 2004) includes an
introduction that poses the question, "Are you
ready for a makeover?" Chapters include "Redo Your
Room," "Wake Up Your Workout," and "Get a Passion
for Fashion." Complete with media references, each
chapter includes three crafts with instructions, a
difficulty meter for each one, and a list of needed
supplies. A picture of the finished item, more ideas,
and illustrations of supplies and the more difficult
steps are included. The result is another fun,
imaginative book that will surely keep some readers
away from the television and in the creative mood
on rainy afternoons or after school. The projects
don't require spending oodles of time or money.
Many supplies can be found around the house or at
local craft stores. Especially useful are the tips for
crafting parties and ideas for making money with
projects. The author's suggestion that crafting can
be more than just-for-fun may inspire readers to
explore more creative job possibilities in the
future.-Delia Fritz, Sunset Ridge Middle School,
