Agreed. I just finished "The Unwritten Rule" by Scott, and had read "It's Not Summer Without You" by Jenny Han. Both were incredibly good and the voices were true to a teenage girl.

My teens also love "Struts and Frets" have not seen it on the shelf since it was purchased.

I, too, loved The Unwritten Rule, and you know, I wouldn't totally write it off for the Printz just yet. I thought the character development was outstanding.

I still need to read Saving Maddie :(
