Girl Stories  
Author: Lauren R Weinstein 
ISBN: 0805078630
Format: Paperback
Price: $16.95
Due to a bumbling error on the corporate level, I found this young teen graphic novel shelved in the children’s paperback picture books. So, I picked it up and read it during lunch. If you’re table-mannered, you won’t want to read this while eating or else you may end up, as I did, spraying food. Girl Stories playfully addresses teen-pressure tribulations, including: egging; bullying; pop star crushes; friendship; and self-image. These slightly edgy and zine styled comics would appeal to young teens who aren’t “bad”, but are consistently pushing that line. Also, anyone who doodles may appreciate and/or be inspired by the illustrations.
