Just Girls: Hidden Literacies and Life in Junior High
by Margaret J. Finders
New York: Teachers College Press, 1997
ISBN: 0807735604In this book, Finders takes us deep inside the unofficial lives of two contrasting peer groups-- the "social queens" and the "tough cookies." She provides a detailed account of the various roles for reading and writing in these girls' lives, many of which stand in stark contrast to academic literacies. This book challenges some of our most deeply held beliefs about what counts as literacy, what good pedagogy looks like, and what adolescents experience in and beyond school.
