Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"With adolescent swagger, BAD GIRL tells the unnerving story of an outlaw young life that must be broken, reshaped and finally redeemed. "At fifteen Abigail Vona was Involved with boys, booze, drugs and stealing anything and everything she could lay her hands on. She was spiraling out of control. Helpless to control his daughter, Mr. Vona committed Abigail to Peninusla Village, a controversial treatment facility for "behavior modification" in Louisville, Tennessee. No sooner did she walk through the door she was put on suicide watch which lasted for 3 months. She was not allowed to dress in more than a hospital gown until she graduated to "level-three lockdown" and "wilderness boot camp" where she stayed for nearly a year. And though it all started as a nightmare, it eventually became her salvation.

I think this book was very good and I could really relate to it. It does help out teens that have that problem I let my friends read it to and they really enjoyed it also. Way to go!
