| Publisher Description: Jinjoli est feliz cuando Brent la invita a salir, pero no tanto cuando los rumores empiezan a correr por la escuela. Muy pronto su nombre aparece en las paredes del ba o y todos susurran y se r en a su costa. Cuando su madre se involucra, la reputaci n de Jinjoli empeora todav a m s. Convencida de que alguien tiene que hacer algo, Jinjoli re ne a otras chicas que han sido etiquetadas como chicas f ciles (o como cosas peores) y trata de hacer que sus compa eros entiendan todo el da o que puede ocasionar una etiqueta que reduce a una persona a un mero objeto. Jujube is thrilled when Brent asks her out. She is not so happy when the rumors start flying at school. Pretty soon her name is showing up on bathroom walls and everyone is snickering and sniping. When her mother gets involved, Jujube's reputation takes another hit. Deciding that someone has to take a stand, Jujube gathers all the other girls who are labelled sluts--and worse--and tries to impress on her fellow students the damage that can be done by assigning a label that reduces a person to an object. |
