I would agree with the article’s point that these types of Chick Lit are not positive examples to use in the classroom. I would not however jump on the censorship train and agree with the assumption that all YA Chick Lit is inappropriate. Jenny pointed out The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants as a positive example of YA Chick Lit- I would agree. There are many examples of this genre that are eminently useful in the classroom. Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret by Judy Blume would be another. Even The Babysitter’s Club and Sweet Valley High series promote more positive outlooks—even if they are formulaic and a bit fluffy to older readers. The point is the books mentioned by the article are not the only options out there! I think that this is a great topic murphkel2003, I look forward to more information!

Thanks for recommending a "good" piece of YA chick lit when some of the most popular examples are a bit questionable.
