Thirteen-year-old Celeste Harris is no string bean, but comfy sweatpants and a daily chocolate cookie suit her just fine. Her under-the-radar lifestyle could have continued too, if her aunt hadn?t entered her in the HuskyPeach Modeling Challenge. To get out of it, she?s forced to launch Operation Skinny Celeste?because, after all, a thin girl can?t be a fat model! What Celeste never imagined was that losing weight would help her gain a backbone . . . or that all she needed to shine was a spotlight. A hilarious debut featuring friendship, family, mean girls and even celebrity crushes, Celeste?s story is a delicious treat that doesn?t add a pound. Review: Spoiler alert - I really loved the book models don't eat chocolate cookies. It was a good read. So here's how it works. Celeste is an overweight girl who gets bullied by a girl named Lively Carson. Lively calls her a cow and says she can't do things. One day in P.E class Celeste tucks on Coaches shoes. And the stains show. Meanwhile Celeste's lovely aunt has entered her in the Husky Peach modeling competition when she finds out her own daughter can't compete. So Celeste really loves Theo Christmas and on the last day of the modeling competition aft we she gets her prize he is the tee and signed her dress. Well there's not much left to say but that I love donuts Review: A fab book! You really should read this! - The storyline is so amazing with many ups and downs. You feel a bit fascinated when Lively's water bra pops, or when it pops again at the Catch 'N' Kick Shoppe. It reminds me of memories, when I started by force but ended by Will. One bad thing about the book is that it is not that realistic. No kid can ever be so mean as Lively...But I still fully enjoyed it, and I strongly recommend the book to teenage girls. :) Just about to read it over! :)

Overall good book but made me feel like dirt
I thought this book was supposed to teach a lesson. It didn't. It made me want to change myself completely, like my body isn't good enough. I'm a bit overweight so this book made me feel pretty cruddy. How are we supposed to read a book that makes you feel like your not good enough? At first I thought this book would be about a girl who learned to love herself the way she is but nope. She learned to change herself. Not typically what I would call a 5 star book, but I gave it 4 stars because besides the fact that it made me depressed, it was a good book. It was well written and at times made me laugh. I could relate to some things even though Celeste is older than me, and I was impressed about how many words I didn't know we're in it! I have a huge vocabulary so it was a shocking find. Anyways, if your thin, you might enjoy this book a little more than a slightly overweight person would. It may come off as an insult but I got passed it and had to realize that it's a book about another girl's experiences, not mine. Once you get over that, you start to realize how good the book is. The one thing it did teach me was, to stand up to someone who's bullying you or bullying someone else. Also to stay true to your friends. Another thing I did not appreciate was the inconclusive part about Sandra and Celeste. Did they make up? I will never know. I also wish it talked about the wedding and after it. Maybe it was meant to be a quick read, but it should've at least been more conclusive. That's really all. For these reasons, I gave it 4 stars.

Fun read!
I read this book in a sitting because it was so good! It was hilarious and relatable. Definitely a must read for ages 9-12! It was interesting in every moment, and there was always something new happening to the main character. Read this book! It doesn't matter how old you are cause it sooooo funny!

Very inspiring
This book was very inspiring for a girl like me because it tells the story of it doesn't matter what you look like in life and that you have to have courage and determination to get through it. I really liked all the parts with the red bathing suit some, not to give anything away but, that also was so push for Celeste (main character)too. Over all I would give this a five star rating! Read this book!!!!

This was a wonderful book that made me feel a range of emotions. I was happy for Celeste, sad for her, and proud of her at the same time. It shows real life, and the horrible things that girls do to each other. It also shows the benefits of perseverance, and the whole process is not all flowers and rainbows. You have to work to reap the benefits. This was a great book that I enjoyed very much.

Realistic yet fun
Model's Don't Eat Chocolate Cookies is a great book for girls like the main character, Celeste. The book was not the best, but it was still a little hard to put it down. I can relate to Celeste and I have totally been through what she has. The book will not captivate you, and squeeze your heart and it is definitely not a hard-core page-turner. But I will say that the author did a great job explaining how the characters feel and interact with one another and how they all change. Model's Don't Eat Chocolate Cookies a good book and is pretty much worth your time.

I loved this book
I chose this rating because I love to read and I think this is a wonderful book. I like the part about Lively Carson' s fake boobs and her crush on Geoff but I do not think there is anything in this book that I do not like. I think I would recommend this book to some of my best friends. I love to read about mean girls and secret crushes.
