«Nulle et Grande Gueule» is the young adult novel by Joyce Carol Oates, published by Folio in paperback (336 pages, in French).
Ursula, very tall and self-conscious about her height, calls herself «la Nulle». Matt is popular, funny and sometimes tactless. When he jokes about planting a bomb at school and ends up accused, Ursula is the only one who doesn't get swept along by the rumour and supports him against social hypocrisy.
French edition of 2004, translated from English by Claude Seban; the original «Big Mouth & Ugly Girl» was published in 2002.
For readers of young adult and contemporary fiction, especially those looking for school stories about identity and social pressure.
