Tales from My Closet

Scholastic Press 2013

Five girls. A paper dress. Tons of shoes. One unforgettable raincoat. White jeans. Secrets. Drama. Friends? For Justine, Bianca, Becka, Polly, and Anne, living in Westfield, New Jersey is 'life on planet toilet paper.' Told in alternating voices, Tales from My Closet follows the stories of high school kids who have nothing in common — and everything in common. They're at war with each other, but through their clothes, they reveal and conceal themselves and make peace with what it means to be a teen. Over the course of a school year, their individual struggles and successes come together to tell a story that's funny, honest, and all-girl fabulous.

Praise

"Five tenth-grade girls rotate narration duties on a bumpy road to friendship in Moses's busy YA debut about families and fashion. Moses has a vivid sense of humor and an eye for the telling detail."

— Publishers Weekly

"Funny, honest, and all-girl fabulous. A quick, engaging read that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt like an outsider."
