Adult/High School–In 2002, during the other half of their freshman year at Manhattan's Stuyvesant High School, four girls began to keep a shared notebook that served as a joint diary along with a compendium of letters to at least one another. Edited only from the authors throughout the writing and initial reading process, the quantity serves like a front-row seat on those aspects of the teens' lives they deemed interesting or important enough to record. The reproduction with the notebook maintains their handwriting too as photocopies of the snapshots, sketches, and occasional wrappers and other realia they inserted into its pages. Stuyvesant High is really a public exam school, that girls are brainy, well-educated, and alert to class. Across the years–the notebook ends midway through their junior year–they show themselves being self-centered, bold, and whiny by turns, at the same time as insightful, playful, plus possession of the other hallmark moods one expects from contemporary teenage girls in middle-class America. Their behaviors might appear extreme in a few parts from the country while equally expected in others: they drink, participate in sex with varying examples of protection, explore illicit drugs, procrastinate about homework, and therefore are generally without any politically correct speech about any group–whether other or themselves. Their willingness to expose their adolescence to readers makes their story, or combined stories, engrossing. Readers who like Ann Brashares's fiction may also line up to explore the gritty reality presented here.–Francisca Goldsmith, Berkeley Public Library, CA

The creators of The Notebook Girls are four contemporary Manhattan teens, who started the notebook as a way to stay associated with each other. The power here's within the raw honesty, and also the format--handwritten pages and pasted-in photos--gives much more immediacy. They are girls who speak in bawdy, vulgar language; tease and tell fart jokes; concern yourself with their bodies, their futures, and their friendships; and test out drinking, drugs, and sex. These girls share sharp observations as well as a strong sense of identity. "Who the fuck are these guys?" asks one girl. "Who gave them the best to comment on girls' bodies like that?" The communal format creates more jockeying and joking and fewer personal revelation than a diary might. But this title supplies a fascinating look at exactly what it means, then and now, to mature female. Gillian Engberg
