Description
Eden McCoy doesn't fit in. She's good at running, but prefers to stay unnoticed. Her priority is avoiding the Glossies - a ruthless clique of girls who use social media to punish and humiliate their targets. But when Eden breaks her vow by beating track star Mikki in a race, she's challenged to play a cruel prank on another kid or face the consequences. As Eden navigates this difficult situation, an unexpected connection with a boy named Riley helps keep her afloat. This story explores the joy of running and sports, as well as community, real friendship, and solidarity. It empathetically examines how girls can be 'put in boxes' and the pressure to act in a way that society or their peers expect of them. A sharply written and grippingly entertaining novel, Like a Girl is inspired by research into real teen opinions about social media. A touching mother-daughter relationship adds depth to this story, which will resonate with readers who appreciate honest portrayals of teenage life.
