Ann M. Martin Quote
Charlotte and the Pikes stared after Sabrina as Mrs. Bouvier whisked her away.Do you know what that was? Claudia whispered to me. A pageant-head, that’s what. A poor kid who gets roped into any beauty contest or pageant that comes along. Her whole life is one big smile.She’s not that pretty, I pointed out.And maybe not very talented, added Claudia. But she knows pageants, or her mother does, and she knows what the judges like.
