Description: Most books about child behavioural disorder give the expert's-eye-view. They present the theory behind the child. This book, however, about a community of disturbed adolescent girls or "grils" takes a quite different perspective.

In a series of short documentary episodes the children themselves are presented centre-stage. The reader finds himself or herself projected on to the proscenium. Incidents from the daily life of the school portray the adolescent girl when she explodes into "grif," and show how the most uncontrolled and obnoxious of "grils" can spiral out of her other self and become the most generous and enchanting of girls.
