The Shape of a Girl

In Shape of a Girl, Braidie must make a tough choice between standing by while her best friend bullies another student, or standing up for what's right but risking her friendship.

Braidie knows that to be a teenager is to often see very hideous behavior from your peers. For years Braidie's best friend has inflicted cruel and painful harassment on another classmate. Now, from the television and the papers, Braidie finds out about a shocking case in a nearby city.

Could this happen here? With wit, honesty and profound insight, Governor General Award winning playwright Joan MacLeod pulls us into a tough and complicated teenage world; a world where loyalty to a friend can have tragic results.
