Some people get to have crushes on boys. Some people have other things they've got to do.
Seventh-grader Zoey has her hands full as she takes care of her much younger siblings after school every day while her mom works her shift at the pizza parlor. Not that her mom seems to appreciate it. At least there's Lenny, her mom's boyfriend--they all get to live in his nice, clean trailer.
At school, Zoey tries to stay under the radar. Her only friend Fuchsia has her own issues, and since they're in an entirely different world than the rich kids, it's best if no one notices them.
Zoey thinks how much easier everything would be if she were an octopus: eight arms to do eight things at once. Incredible camouflage ability and steady, unblinking vision. Powerful protective defenses.
Unfortunately, she's not totally invisible, and one of her teachers forces her to join the debate club. Even though Zoey resists participating, debate ultimately leads her to see things in a new way: her mom's relationship with Lenny, Fuchsia's situation, and her own place in this town of people who think they're better than her. Can Zoey find the courage to speak up, even if it means risking the most stable home she's ever had?
This moving debut novel explores the cultural divides around class and the gun debate through the eyes of one girl, living on the edges of society, trying to find her way forward.
Braden, Ann

Appearance, texture, and smell pass the test!
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I am rating this product on a appearance, texture and smell alone because I have not had time to use it in order to determine it's hair nourishing properties. I have studied a lot about Botana oil because there are so many products out there that have been born out of a few large names putting it out there in the market. It smells exactly like it should which is coffee and a little bit of Ash. I know that sounds strange but it really is not a bad smell. The texture and the color seem to pass the test as well. The color is a yellow brownish color. The texter is more like a butter as opposed to an oil. It puts you in the mind of shea butter. I did take a little bit out of the jar to see how oily it is and of course it's oily but once you melt it in your hands and rub it in it seems to soak in easily. This protect solid while in the jar. 100% Botana oil should never turn liquidy at all unless you have it in a very hot environment of course. I'll come back once I use the product to determine how it nourishes my hair.

Good Product
I love this brand, but haven't been able to find it lately in stores in my area. It's probably the best self tanner I've used overall. Shipping from this seller was pretty quick.
Color is believable- even on my pasty pale, next to white skin. If you're like me, you have to be careful of products that turn you orange. With the "dark" shade, you still need more than one application to actually be dark. To me, that's okay because you can control the color. First application gives a nice color, second application gives a deeper tan. However, I may get the ultra dark next time.
I love the sprays best because they dry fast, give the best, most even, controllable application and I have better luck with these than lotions. With lotions, you are gooey and sticky and there is more stuff transferring on your clothes. Never wear white anyway when you first apply self-tanner! Best to do it before you go to bed.
I really like that it is tinted. Not only do you get an instant, believable color while you wait for the self tanner to do its job, but you can see where it goes so you don't end up with streaks. Because of the tint, place an old towel on the floor as a drop cloth. Wash your hands between applying to body parts to avoid staining your palms. Yeah, the usual Self Tanning 101 stuff. You do end up with a hint of that self-tanner smell and I have used other products that are better as far as this goes, but it's nothing too bad. They all have that smell to some degree or other. Your tan lasts about 4-5 days and is easy to exfoliate off, without flaking off in weird patches.
Best of all, this product is cruelty-free and no animal testing!!

A fantastic self tanning product.
I have been using this self tanner for years. So glad Amazon carries it. It's a bit tricky to use and be prepared to use in an area that is protected. Like using a drop cloth and using care with surrounding areas. It also can stain hands and feet so use gloves and cover the bottoms of your feet. The good part after all that is ,a beautiful deep rich tan. I have fooled many using this product. You cannot spray too close or it will run or not go on evenly. It also at times has faulty cans that drip and are messy. Used to that after all this time. The liquid that leaks is green. Now after all that, it does not sound all that appealing but, trying to give some guidance because it is worth the effort. I have heard rumor that it was used on the show Baywatch to give them that true sun kissed bronze look. It literally in one spraying has you tan. You can darken by using every few days. I usually spray it on before bed, let it dry well and wear overnight to let it set up and develop. It has a sort of almond scent so the smell is decent. I will mist my face alone if I just want a bit of color during the colder months before I leave the house . I just mist a bit less and let it dry. Not saying this is the most user friendly product but, will keep working around its faults to keep glowing. Best at home tan as good as a spray tan from a salon.

Beautiful bronze color!
This is a nice spray mist tan that gradually gets deeper in color within a couple hours after application. It did not make me look orange at all rather a great beach bronze color.
It’s a bit difficult to spray my legs evenly all around while staying within the range/ distance it recommends in order to avoid lines, drilling and streaks. Next time I’m asking my friend to spray me. The spray mist on skin will stay on for 3 days before it begins to wear offs. I suggest exfoliating in between spray tanning

Great self-tanner -- VERY light color
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
First of all, I must confess -- I am a self-tanning junkie. Okay -- I said it. I have used MANY, MANY self-tanning products over the years. This was the first time I had purchased this brand, and I was pleased. Pleased. Not thrilled. Just pleased. The product delivers nice, good quality color. It has a pleasant feeling on the skin. Smells lovely. My ONLY complaint is this: the color was not dark or deep, which is the #1 thing I seek in a self-tanner. I want deep, dark color -- I want to appear...well....TANNED! This product simply did not deliver the dark color I was seeking. I would definitely recommend this self-tanner to anyone looking for a LIGHTLY COLORED tanning effect. This product delivers a lightly peachy-colored tan. It dries VERY quickly and evenly.
