Brynn Haper's life has one steadying force--Rachel Maddow. She watches her daily, and after writing to Rachel for a school project--and actually getting a response--Brynn starts drafting e-mails to Rachel but never sending them. Brynn tells Rachel about breaking up with her first serious girlfriend, about her brother Nick's death, about her passive mother and even worse stepfather, about how she's stuck in remedial courses at school and is considering dropping out. Then Brynn is confronted with a moral dilemma. One student representative will be allowed to have a voice among the administration in the selection of a new school superintendent. Brynn's archnemesis, Adam, and ex-girlfriend, Sarah, believe only Honors students are worthy of the selection committee seat. Brynn feels all students deserve a voice. When she runs for the position, the knives are out. So she begins to ask herself: What Would Rachel Maddow Do?… (mais)

“I could live my life by those words. Put them on my tombstone. ‘Here lies Brynn. At least she tried.’” Brynn wrote to Rachel Maddow for an assignment, but as the worst year of her life continues, even with a crush on the new girl, so do her unsent emails.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the main characters voice, and it made me laugh several times. However, I wished the other kids in the blue room had been more fleshed out. Overall, I would recommend it. (

This is a super cute book. Brynn writes an email to Rachel Maddow for a school project and then continues to write to Rachel without actually sending the emails off. Her emails are like journal entries which take you through the ups and downs of her teenage life. (

Brynne's life is unraveling. Her girlfriend, Sarah, broke up with her. Her brother died of an overdose. Her dad abandoned the family and her mother married Fart Weasel. As a result, she gave up. Her grades dropped and she was relegated to the blue classroom in the basement, a room that didn't even warrant a number.

Her teacher gave the class an assignment to write to a hero. Brynne chose Rachel Maddow. What ensues is a year of emails to Rachel, some sent, some not. It chronicles the ups and downs of Brynne's life, including running for s spot on the Superintendent selection committee and President of Student Government against a sure-fire winner slash slime ball Adam Graff.

Although a novel in emails is not new, Adrienne Kisner puts a nice new touch to it. Dear Racehl Maddow is quite entertaining. (
