Girls Out Late is basically about three girls who are boy crazy but have to cope with there crazy parents' rules. For example, Ellie has a curfew of 9, Nadine has a mother obsessed with knowing every little detail of Nadines life.
Ellie meets a boy that, at first her dad doesn't approve of. She is constantly hanging out with him after school though. One time they meet at night but the older boy cajoles Ellie into staying out later, causing her parents to disapprove of the boy. So they secretly met at McDonalds. On there first date, Russell does not come. Ellie thinks this is the end and becomes very sad.
But then one day, Russell calls explaining that he got grounded and he is very sorry. For some reason this makes Ellies parents approve of Russell and allow them to go out again.
I think a main problem in this book is curfews and what a good time is to call a curfew. In the book Russell is 16 and Ellie is 14. They are older than most of the 8th grade students at Ms.51. Ellie has a curfew of 9 and we do not know when Russell's curfew is but it is before 1AM. When is your curfew?
