Description To Books The Wild Girls
It is the early 1970s. Twelve-year-old Joan is sure that she is going to be miserable when her family moves from Connecticut to California. Then she meets a most unusual girl. Sarah prefers to be called "Fox" and lives with her author dad in a rundown house in the middle of the woods. The two girls start writing their own stories together, and when one wins first place in a student contest, they find themselves recruited for a summer writing class taught by the equally unusual Verla Volante. The Wild Girls is about friendship, the power of story, and how coming of age means finding your own answers, rather than simply taking adults on faith.

5/5."I wondered if it would always be like that: first the fear, and then the glory."Picked from the J shelves of my local library because the cover promised all things girl-powery and maybe a little bit of good writing. And I was not disappointed.The Wild Girls delivers absolute beauty in a junior lit book that adults can and should enjoy as well. The writing is not childish.

The Wild Girls is an amazing novel. Joan, later to be called Newt, has just moved from Conneticut to Danneville, California. She soon meets a strange, independent girl Sarah, called Fox by friends and family. The two girls become very close. Fox lives with her dad because her mom ran away when she was 7, but now Fox's mom wants to get a divorce and make ammends with Fox. Newt's parents still live together, but they are nearing the end of the line. Her dad is always angry and constantly fights
i loved this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!Autumn,you should read this!
I remember that Elizabeth's girls enjoyed this one, and it was recently highly recommended to me (again)!
Thank you for this wonderful book! I stumbled upon the audio book searching to fill in a bingo square in my summer book bingo card, and it was the perfect book at the perfect time. The lessons and process Fox and Joan go through were lessons I needed to learn and words I needed to hear. This book reminded me how important fiction is. How the words we authors put on the page are powerful. So, thank you Pat Murphy I look forward to reading more of your work.
10/2013 I started with the audiobook, but it was one disc short, so I got the book and started over. I remain a big fan. It's solidly plotted, and covers a lot of early adolescence without being an issue book at all. Highly recommended.11/2009 I loved the girls in this book. Fox and Newt are so perfectly poised between childhood and adolescence, between that subterranean self that exists early on and the later, public iceberg self. Their groping towards the light is beautifully mirrored in their
