Published by Razorbill (Penguin Group), Pretty Tough by Liz Tigelaar is the first in a series about a group of Southern California girls as comfortable in a ponytail and running shoes as glitter and high heels.
Who says you can’t be both pretty AND tough? These girls constantly push limits and kick grass on and off the field. Perfect for Young Adult readers tired of the same old chick lit.
