Description
The girls at North Bay Academy are taking sides.
It all started when Mike Parker's girlfriend showed up with a bruise on her face. Or, more specifically, when she walked into the principals office and said Mike hit her. But her classmates have questions. Why did she go to the principal and not the police? Why did she stay with Mike if he was hurting her? Obviously, if it's true, Mike should face the consequences. But is it true?
Some girls want to rally for his expulsion—and some want to rally around Mike. Rumors about what really happened spread. The only thing the entire student body can agree on? Someone is lying.
What Kind of Girl is an unflinching exploration of the labels society puts on girls and women—and the strength it takes to rise above it all to claim your worth and declare your truth.
