Enid And Rebecca Have Been Friends For So Long That It's Difficult For Either Of Them To Let The Other Grow Or Change. Now Enid Will Probably Leave Their Working-class Neighborhood And Go Away To College And Rebecca Cannot Accept This Change In Their Relationship. Enid Is The More Radical And Dramatic Of The Two, The One Who Talks A Male Friend Into Escorting Her Into An X-rated Adult Store. Rebecca Is Not So Much A Follower As Simply More Circumspect. She's The One Who Reasons That Josh, A Friend They're Both Guilty Of Provoking Sexually, Really Deserves To Sleep With One Of Them After All The Teasing He's Weathered. While The Vocabulary Here Is Raunchy, It Is Accurate For The Characters. These Realistic 18-year-olds Don't Always Talk Nice And Don't Always Act Nice But They Do Have Moral Fiber Underneath Their Tough-girl Exteriors. It's Just That They're At A Point In Life And A Place In Society Where Exteriors Are A Lot More Important Than Nice. This Is A Book With Distinct Appeal To Urban High School Students, But It's Certainly Not For Their Younger Brothers And Sisters. Depending On Where Your Comics Are Shelved, Add This One Where The Age-appropriate Audience Is Most Likely To Find It. The Artwork Is Evocative And Tasteful And The Book Can Serve As A Bridge To More Literary Stories Of Friendships.--francisca Goldsmith, Berkeley Public Library, Ca\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComics \u0026amp; Graphic Novels\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eMedia Tie-In Graphic Novels\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Fantagraphics","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":49052632154302,"sku":"1560974273-3","price":21.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/617xQbPWtvL.jpg?v=1789652348","url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/products\/1560974273-ghost_world_s-c","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
