Middle-school girls being mean to each other? Unfortunately, it's an all too common and painful experience for most teen girls. Maya feels lucky to be part of a group, but when the leader, Candace, decides Maya is "out," the other three girls blindly follow suit and shun her. Shifts in loyalties, sniping, betrayals, and some kind words fly between the five actresses in this full-cast audio production. This realistic story is not pretty. But it may be cathartic for any middle-school girl trying to find her way through the intricate web of adolescent friendships. M.M.O. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine

What's a girl to do when her group of best friends suddenly drops her like yesterday's fashion trend? Such is the theme at the heart of Koss's sharp novel about the dynamics of middle-school cliques. This strong audio adaptation is a seamless fit for Koss's style of using alternating narrators to deliver varying points of view. Full Cast continues to cultivate a roster of excellent young performers; five youthful actresses take on the roles of "the girls," each conveying a distinct personality and speaking style. Though Maya (the girl who is initially ostracized) sounds younger than her peers and sometimes adopts a choppy pace, her innocent tone seems in keeping with her character. Ringleader Candace and her often too-willing sidekick Darcy are biting and snobbish throughout. Thankfully, supporting cast members provide a glimpse of each girl's private family life, which adds depth to the story and the performances. Ages 10-up.
