"Both timely and timeless, a powerful exploration of abuse in its
many forms, as well as the strength it takes to rise up and speak
your truth."-AMBER SMITH, New York Times bestselling author of The
Way I Used to Be From New York Times bestselling author Alyssa
Sheinmel comes an unflinching exploration of the labels society
puts on girls and women-and the strength it takes to rise above it
all to claim your worth and declare your truth. The girls at North
Bay Academy are taking sides. It all started when Mike Parker's
girlfriend showed up with a bruise on her face. Or, more
specifically, when she walked into the principal's office and said
Mike hit her. But her classmates have questions. Why did she go to
the principal and not the police? Why did she stay with Mike if he
was hurting her? Obviously, if it's true, Mike should face the
consequences. But is it true? Some girls want to rally for his
expulsion-and some want to rally around Mike. Rumors about what
really happened spread. The only thing that the entire student body
can agree on? Someone is lying. And the truth has to come out. This
book is a great choice to start conversations about: dating
violencecontemporary social problemsyoung adult mental healthPraise
for What Kind of Girl: "A poignant, thought-provoking novel that
will resonate deeply."-Kirkus "A rallying cry."-Booklist "I
immediately saw myself in this book, which so thoroughly explains
the thought process when coming to terms with victimhood and
survivorship. I felt understood."-Chessy Prout, author of I Have
the Right To "Important, raw, timely, and ultimately
hopeful...demands readers discuss the trauma of teen dating
violence and how girls are so often taught-even expected-to
internalize their victimization."-Shannon M. Parker, author of The
Girl Who Fell and The Rattled Bones Also by Alyssa Sheinmel: A
Danger to Herself and Others The Castle School (for Troubled Girls)
