Editorial Reviews:
Review:

"Oates effectively evokes the culture of high school, where association is everything and rumor almost always preferable to truth....Honest and penetrating."

Kirkus, 4/15/2002

Review:

"In vivid, quick-witted prose bursting with colloquialisms and arrow-true dialogue, BIG MOUTH & UGLY GIRL is a divinely readable novel, one of the finest and most provocative in any genre of late. Deftly juxtaposing the pangs of adolescence, the commonness of betrayal and the dearness of loyalty, the insidious nature of bigotry and myopia, and the redemptive necessity of genuine connection, Oates has crafted a work for young adults as deserving of acclaim as any of her adult fiction."

Robyn Pal-Freeman, Ruminator Review, Summer 2002
