That proves a point though, doesn't it? Literature for young people does not mean "sh*t lit"... it should be just as well-written, just as engrossing, as adult fiction. In fact, it should be, as this book was, imperceivably different from any other fiction, other than the grade level of the vocabulary.

But did you know that there's a sequel???
I have it... I can be done with it and send it to Camp Swank if you're attending.

Are there any books at Target about women's prisons & the shenanigans that ensue? Or, books written by Paris Hilton that give you tips on how to be your own personal heiress on a piss poor budget? Those strike my fancy.

I'm just playin'.

The last book I bought at Target was The Catcher In The Rye & The Lovely Bones. They have a great, affordable selection.

Morri, this book sounds awesome! I'm already dying to know the "secrets" that the girls have. I may just have to go and pick it up!
