Girl Stories
A graphic novel jam-packed with the joys and humiliations of being a teenage girl Girl Stories began as a series of comics drawn for the teen girls' Web site gurl.com, where they generated thousands of e-mails from teenage girls (and some boys too). Expanded into a full-length graphic novel, these tales of one girl's adolescence are hilarious, heartbreaking, and honest. Lauren R. Weinstein tells the horrible truth about growing up, surviving embarrassing parents, bullies from hell, best friends, boyfriends, breakups, and trying too hard to be cool--and it has never been funnier.

Superb
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I bought this for my 12-year-old daughter for xmas. Started leafing through it this afternoon and ended up reading it cover to cover. Well-written, funny, and nicely drawn. I highly recommend this book for middle school aged kids. It deals with adolescent issues without crossing into heavy duty territory - in other words, no sex (other than kissing), no swearing, no nudity. Yet it doesn't read as if it were sanitized or dumbed down. Girl Stories deals hilariously with the issues that can make a kid's life a misery in junior high. I can't recommend it enough. The episode about the belly button piercing alone is worth the price of the book and will probably make YOUR kid think twice before doing that herself.

This book made me laugh out loud! Story after story was surprising and completely relatable. This is a must read for anyone who is a girl, was a girl, or knows a girl! Love it! This is a great reaffirming gift for a birthday or holiday.
