Description
The seven essays in this book describe the secret lives of adolescent girls.
Quick Summary
Through seven raw and honest essays, this book pulls readers into the secret universes teenage girls create when no one is watching. Each chapter exposes the pressure to fit in, the lies teens tell to survive, and the surprising strength found in friendships that feel like sisterhood. If your kid loves the emotional honesty of Speak or the group dynamics of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, they'll be completely absorbed by these revealing portraits. With an AR Level of 6.1 and content that tackles real teen struggles, this book is ideal for students in grades 9 through 12.
