GIRLS OUT LATE
Jacqueline Wilson
Hardcover Delacorte Books for Young Readers | September 2002 | $9.95 | 0-385-72976-6 | Ages 12 up

How many times have you lied to your parents hoping you never get caught? And if you have been caught, how did your parents react? Well, when Ellie meets Russell, her parents won’t let her go out with him. So she lies about where she is going and who she will be with. When her parents start calling Nadine and Magda to check up on her, they catch her lying. Nadine and Magda are angry with Ellie for using them and ignoring them because of Russell.

Now Ellie is grounded and her lies become more complex as she continues to meet Russell at the mall and the park. Where will it all end? Will her parents ever trust her again—and will Russell wait for her if she can’t get out to see him?
