A great pleasure in life is doing what you've been told you cannot do. What reviewers are saying about Bad Girls Club: "As riveting as Dave Pelzer's A Child Called it, but is far better..." Midwest Book Review "Gregerson writes a raw, heartfelt story of pain and redemption." A.M. Jenkins, Printz Honor Winner "Teens in similar abuse situations will find much to empathize with...it would find an audience with teens in need or those who enjoy dystopian literature." VOYA "If you loved the story A Child Called It, you will find BAD GIRLS CLUB even more entertaining and thought provoking." Elkhart, Indiana Library "Such an important book..." The Baytown Sun "It's a huge contribution to the young adult literary world.” Book of the Moment   Exerpt of Bad Girls Club (71 KB) If you like a good story that's suspenseful and compelling, you'll love this book. Reviewers are comparing BAD GIRLS CLUB to A Child Called It and readers are agreeing. If you know an at-risk or abused teen (especially if they love A Child Called It) or a school counselor, librarian, or teacher who works with at-risk kids, think about pointing them to Bad Girls Club. They won't be disappointed. This is my second book. My first, Save Me! A Young Woman's Journey Through Schizophrenia to Health was used as a supplemental college text. Take a look around and come back often to visit. I add new things all the time. And thanks for visiting! "For a book that is honest, intense, and vivid in its portrayal of mental illness and child abuse, look no further than the gritty, realistic novel Bad Girls Club by Judy Gregerson."
