Luann: The Teens They Are a-Changin' e-bog

Luann's transition into womanhood is interrupted by her friend Bernice's unexpected makeover, which attracts the attention of every guy in school. Bernice, once jealous of Luann's maturity, turns the tables, leaving Luann jealous of her once socially awkward friend's newfound confidence.

After the rumor is expelled, Gunther, caught up in all the hubbub of appearances, dons a ';manlier' look.
