Cozy Couch Reads: Girl v. Boy by Yvonne Collins and Sandy Rideout
All’s not fair in love, war, and high school journalism. Fifteen-year-old Luisa Perez is not looking to win any awards for
school spirit. In fact, she and her friends make it a point to avoid
all activities considered “extra-curricular.” So when her English
teacher volunteers her to be an anonymous columnist for the school
paper, Luisa’s first impulse is to run.
But, unlike her high-school dropout sister, Luisa wants to go to
college—it may be her only ticket out of a life spent working at the
cowboy-themed diner where she waitresses part time—and it would look
good on her applications.
Her first assignment is to cover her high school's latest
fundraiser, which pits the girls against the boys. Luisa will cover the
events from the female POV while another anonymous writer provides the
male perspective—or, at least, that’s how it begins.
The two columnists soon find themselves engaged in an epic battle
of the sexes—a battle that Luisa is determined to win. Just who does
this guy think he is, encouraging guys to act like Neanderthals with
their girlfriends?
And why can’t Luisa shake the very sinking feeling her new unidentified nemesis might also be her new boyfriend?Discuss:
1. If you were a high school newspaper reporter, what would you write about?
2. What do you think boys and girls feel competitive about?
3. How did you feel when Luisa’s columnist counterpart is revealed? Were you surprised at the revelation?
4. What did you think about the status of Luisa and Joey’s relationship at the end of the book?
5. Do you think this novel fit realistically with how boy and girls communicate with each other in relationships?
