(4) YA Swoop List series. Five bullied girls become friends despite their different backgrounds in this sanitized teen series. Characters' struggles with rape, abuse, abortion, and violence run parallel to estranged friendships, prom, and crushes. The hi-lo format and urban setting will draw readers; stilted emotional exposition and simplistic treatments of the subject matter do the books an injustice. There are three other spring 2015 books in this series. Review covers these Swoop List titles: Feel Real Good and On Your Knees.
