A wonderful resource for everyone who works with and/or cares about adolescent girls.

The sequel to the bestseller Odd Girl Out compiles first person accounts of bullying, backstabbing and other nastiness that adolescent girls have suffered or perpetrated on other girls, intercut with brief commentary from the author. Candid and disarming, creative and expressive, and always exceptionally self-aware, these poems, songs, confessions, and essays form a journal of American girlhood. They show us how deeply cruelty flows and how strongly these girls want to change.
