  <default_description>Girl Stories began as a series of comics drawn for the teen girls Web site gurl.com, where they generated thousands of e-mails from teenage girls (and some boys too). Expanded into a full-length graphic novel, these tales of one girls adolescence are hilarious, heartbreaking, and honest. Lauren R. Weinstein tells the horrible truth about growing up, surviving embarrassing parents, bullies from hell, best friends, boyfriends, breakups, and trying too hard to be cooland it has never been funnier.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a great book for a weekend afternoon read. The illustrated glimpses in Lauren R. Weinstein's <u>Girl Stories</u> are drawn (no pun intended) from her own life, and if you're looking for a laugh you'll find it here. The stories are mainly from her middle school years, and focus on her as an uncool, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41870463">more...</a>]]></body>
