Great Book For Young Feminists

With the start of her second semester social studies class, Brogan's life becomes more complicated. For starters, the new teacher at Bellmont High School (in Brooklyn, New York) pretty much steals her heart on the first day of class. He's brilliant and attractive and shares a lot of the same ideas Brogan has about society and the world. Too bad he's grown more interested in Rosanna Dakis (the beautiful, popular senior in their class) to notice Brogan even exists.At home, it's not much better. Her parents--who she refers to by their first names, Nan and Buster, not "Mom" and "Dad"--are on the verge of a divorce. They're constantly fighting; Nan feels stifled and Buster is looking for a mistress, a secret he shamelessly tells his daughter. And, of course, Brogan is caught in the middle, feeling completely helpless and angry.Between home and school, Brogan tries to find some balance in her life. The biggest help of all is from Gracie Pevsner, an older woman she meets while volunteering at the senior citizens center. Gracie inspires Brogan to be proactive and overcome her own ineptness and misery."Let Me Tell You Everything" is a great book for teenage girls who are struggling with their own identities as feminists.
