INVISIBLE GIRLS - MELLINEE LESLEY KARTONIERT (TB)

Invisible Girls is an examination of twenty-four at-risk adolescent girls' writing practices in
a Third Space setting located within a school but outside of the confines of a regular
classroom. Through a description of the girls' writing over a three-and-a-half-year period in
this setting  Mellinee Lesley details phenomena that both support and suppress at-risk
adolescent girls in their quest to achieve academic success through their writing practices.
This book offers educators insights into teaching writing to adolescent girls who are falling
through the cracks of the public education system in the United States. Much more attention
needs to be given to the literacy practices and pedagogical needs of this considerable
population of learners. As such  this book is poised to fill a void in the field of literacy
for educators who want to prevent the intellectual abandonment of girls drifting invisibly
along the corridors of schools.
