Reviews
The Horn Book Guide
“Edgy topics with ‘pros and cons’ will provoke discussion. The daring art represents whimsical self-expression in a variety of wacky forms. The chaotic page design may challenge some readers. The many flavors of hip ‘street style’ include branding (like Coke and Apple), street art, tattoos, piercings, and spray paintings. Is it attractive? Is it legal? Readers can judge for themselves.” —The Horn Book Guide
School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
“Each of these hi/lo titles focuses on a different aspect of popular culture…. They contain short but interesting interviews with leading figures and discussions of trends.” —School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
Booklist
“As body decoration—including nail art, hair fashion, piercings, makeup, and tattoos—continues to become more popular, readers can turn to this entry in the On the Radar: Street Style series for more information…. Bright colors and patterned backdrops are the perfect accompaniment to this book that brings acceptance to alternative body images.” —Booklist
