Bad Girls (novel)

Bad Girls (novel)

"Bad Girls" is a young-adult novel by Cynthia Voigt, published in 1997. It follows two fifth-graders, Mickey Elsinger and Margalo Epps, exploring issues of friendship, courage, and ethics using the lens of these two girls who are ambitious, combative, intelligent, and independent in ways that break from the norm. Voigt uses the concept of "bad"-ness here in somewhat the way Nietzsche deals with good and evil in his "Beyond Good and Evil", debunking some of our socially constructed values (in this case, surrounding gender) rather than merely embracing the dark side.

equels

Sequels in the "Bad Girls" series include "Bad, Badder, Baddest", "It's Not Easy Being Bad", "Bad Girls in Love", and "Bad Girls, Bad Girls, Whatcha Gonna Do?" which will reportedly be the last in the series. Each book takes the two girls through one grade.
