Commentary As Books The Wild Girls
It is the early 1970s. Twelve-year-old Joan is sure that she is going to be miserable when her family moves from Connecticut to California. Then she meets a most unusual girl. Sarah prefers to be called "Fox" and lives with her author dad in a rundown house in the middle of the woods. The two girls start writing their own stories together, and when one wins first place in a student contest, they find themselves recruited for a summer writing class taught by the equally unusual Verla Volante. The Wild Girls is about friendship, the power of story, and how coming of age means finding your own answers, rather than simply taking adults on faith.Itemize Books In Favor Of The Wild Girls

Loved the book. A great book for preteens. Joan moved to a new town and thought she would hate it but she met a kindred spirit. Joan and Sarah - Newt and Fox - spent their time outside and writing stories. Great inspiration for anyone wanting to write their own journal, story or book.
i loved this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!Autumn,you should read this!
It was a sad book at times but what they realized at the end was much better than to continue with what was going on. I really enjoyed this book.
My Thirteen year old daughter and I read this book together and I am so glad we did. This has officially become her favorite book and I can see why. The characters and emotions they grapple with are beautifully portrayed, and the story itself appeals to a wide audience. It kept both of us thoroughly entertained and sparked some timely and heartfelt conversations about growing up, the complexity of relationships, and being true to ourselves. A truly lovely read, one that Id recommend to all of my
Too much to say I need to think about it before I write something.Let's just say : it was perfect!!!! This book goes straight up to my favorite shelf, I am in love!
