Summary: Amazing ¿ Harriet the Spy meets her match
Review: Ariel Schrag's work, POTENTIAL, is a must-read for anybody who has ever been to high school. She tells it how it is - from losing her virginity to smearing goat excrement on a boy's face to endear herself to her girlfriend. Absolutely amazing; if you've ever loved Harriet the spy's adventures, this is for you - in this 200-page tome, Ariel gives the upper East side's favorite young spy a run for her money; Ariel's stories are all true, and told with scientific precision.

Rating:
Summary: Funny and honest without being sentimental
Review: Ariel's work is beautiful and compelling. Her high school coming-of-age story is so personal, so awkward, so terrible, and still so delirious with potential... you'll recognize it immediately. Five stars.

Summary: mediocre book written at other people's expense
Review: Having gone to high school with Ariel, and personally knowing a lot of people in her books, I feel that they really disrespect the privacy of the parties involved. It really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Summary: Potential
Review: I bought this book as a gift. It wasn't clear from the reviews that it was not a "book" but a comic book. However, the biggest problem was that it was a book about a young girl's lesbian experience in high school! (Not that there is anything wrong with that. I just wish that I had known that fact before I purchased the "book.")

Summary: you'll emphatically love this book
Review: Rarely do i like comic books, yet Potential is in a category all its own. Not only is it humorous and witty but it also a personal and real account of ariel schrags junior year of high school. queer youth can definitely relate to this book. A book i would highly recommend but be warned that it is rather addicting.
