This weeks teen of the week is a group of 58 teen writers who penned “RED: The Next Generation of American Writers—Teenage Girls—On What Fires Up Their Lives Today” (edited by Amy Goldwasser). This  collection
of personal essays, on everything from politics to pop culture and body image, is written by girls age 13 to 19. Every one of the authors has her own blog at redthebook.com.

Vanity Fair calls RED “unsparingly frank and perceptive,” and Eat, Pray, Love author Elizabeth Gilbert says of the book, “It’s high time people stopped writing, talking, and worrying about teenage girls and let these girls speak for themselves.”  Click here to read about these gals who appear on the coveted blog Huffinton Post.
