Skank takes a look at how quickly things can unravel, especially if you are a young adult going to high school.
While I did not hate this book, I felt nothing for the main character, which is not a good thing for me. It means there is something about the character||"...every aspect of Skank feels authentic and will be eye-opening for teens living in other parts of the country.

Ever since Ariel's mom has been too sick to work they've been moving to progressively lower income neighbourhoods. Then they seem to hit rock bottom--Vancouver's downtown east side, Canada's poorest postal code. Here Ariel gets on the wrong side of a gang of tough girls at school after receiving unwanted attention from their boyfriends. Now she's stuck with a reputation and a label she doesn't know how to deal with. [Fry Reading Level - 4.0
