(3) YA Good girl Stella Chavez, who takes school seriously and helps her single mom care for their family, befriends the beautiful and beguiling Ruby Caroline, whose wild ways mark her as a "bad girl." Though both girls struggle with a variety of common problem-novel concerns, the author's thoughtful and nonjudgmental approach creates an engaging, authentic portrayal of female friendship.
