When a school trip inspires Gem to make an underground film, her best friends Lo and Mira are quick to join the project, taking on the roles of producer and star. The film is intended to cement the girls&#8217; friendship as well as their superiority over their sucker high school peers. But when the fragile balance of their friendship begins to falter, and intentions lead to betrayals big and small, it will take great movies, bad haiku, and a pantheon of great voices&#8212;from Dostoyevsky to Emerson to The Beatles&#8212;to help Gem find the meaning of love, friendship, and being true to herself.</div></div> 313537 book 3 4 2007 Notes from the Teenage Underground total:62|5:15|4:22|3:19|2:4|1:2| 62 230 118 19 4 1 false false Mon Apr 14 16:06:56 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 14 16:06:56 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 14:23:05 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 14:41:23 -0700 2009

Wrapping up 1960's Andy Warhol culture into an Australian Highschool theme was sheer brilliance. Different, and just what I needed.
Refreshing is a good word for it too. Culturally refreshing. ]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jun 21 06:44:51 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 21 06:55:45 -0700 2009 1 4 0 false false Mon Apr 06 13:58:14 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 13:58:48 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Jan 18 12:30:23 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 12:31:05 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Jun 27 17:49:32 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 17:49:53 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Sun Oct 18 00:54:33 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 00:54:57 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Apr 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 03 15:04:53 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 20 11:14:00 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 10 09:42:15 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 15 04:54:06 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Tue Jul 01 19:59:07 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 01 19:59:51 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Jul 15 16:31:04 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 30 10:49:21 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Mon Nov 16 01:10:53 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 01:10:53 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 27 16:01:28 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 16:01:28 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=322828
