A Bad Boy Can Be Good for a Girl » (Reprint)

Josie, Nicolette, and Aviva all get mixed up with a senior boy–a cool, slick, sexy boy who can talk them into doing almost anything he wants. In a blur of high school hormones and personal doubt, each girl struggles with how much to give up and what ultimately to keep for herself. How do girls handle themselves? How much can a boy get away with? And in the end, who comes out on top? A bad boy may always be a bad boy. But this bad boy is about to meet three girls who won’t back down.

Children's Literature

Wow! An eye-opening WOW. Is high school just a hunting ground for testosterone-infested young men? Apparently Stone presents that stigma through the eyes of three naive high school girls who learn the hard way that not everyone has their best interest at heart. This title is presented in verse form, so it is a quick read, but that sometimes obscures the characters and dialog. At times it feels as if we need a scorecard to know who is speaking. Follow the adventures and misadventures of Josie, Nicolette, and Aviva and their relationship' with the same boy, and decide which one made the wisest choice—or the choice most similar to yours. One boy, known only as T.L., seems to be interested in only one thing and spares no broken hearts to get it. Parents may shudder at the scenarios that are disclosed, but high school girls will identify with most, if not all, of the heightened emotions and drama. An excellent choice for a girls reading club, but certainly not a wise choice for promiscuous' girls.
