Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Dirty looks and taunting notes are just a few examples of female bullying that girls and women have long suffered through silently and painfully. Simmons elevates the nation's consciousness and shows girls, parents, counselors, and teachers how to deal with this devastating problem.
Review:"Bolstered with numerous revealing anecdotes and quotes, Odd Girl Out does an excellent job of articulating to adults exactly the pain and subtle warfare that many teen girls experience, and Simmons offers thoughtful motivations for both bullies and the parents who are reluctant to rein them in. She also offers admirable, groundbreaking insight into an all-too-common issue and will be invaluable to any adult struggling to help a girl get through her teens." Gillian Engberg, Booklist Review:"This is the book we have been waiting for. It's a wakeup call to all of us who care deeply about girls' development. Simmons has given voice to the girls who struggle every day with friendships. She has uncovered a hidden world of aggression that unfolds behind adults' backs."
