* "Realistic fiction at its best. Zarr's storytelling is
excellent....An emotionally charged story...recommended for both
teens and the adults who live and work with them."
--School Library Journal (starred review)
"A heartfelt, realistic novel about being defined by one moment,
one choice, and then having to reinvent who you are....An
evocative, thoughtful read from a debut author to watch."
--Cynthia Leitich Smith, author of Jingle Dancer and Indian
Shoes
"Sara Zarr's first novel tells an engrossing story with exquisitely
drawn characters. Story of a Girl is the rarest mix: It's both
impossible to put down and the kind of book that stays with you
long after you've finished reading it."
--John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars and Looking for
Alaska
"This is a hell of a good book."
--Chris Crutcher, author of Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes
"Throws a sharp right hook at the assumptions people make about
girls who have sex early."
--E. Lockhart, author of The Disreputable History of Frankie
Landau-Banks and The Boyfriend List
