The Girls
Amy Goldman Koss
- Reading
- Consider reading alongside your child and pausing after different girls’ accounts. Invite them to compare perspectives, while letting them decide whether any part connects with their own friendships.
- Themes
- Belonging and control in friendship: A popular ringleader tests the loyalty of the girls in her group and decides who is in or out. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The central friendship involves loyalty tests and decisions about who is included.
