  • 17 Years Later

    By J.P. Pomare
    3 stars

    A whodunnit with enough twists and coincidences to make the reader feel surprised and smarter than the protagonists. Wraps up neatly at the end. Just how I like it.

  • In the Margins

    By Gail Holmes
    2 stars

    Family troubles written from the perspective of a 17th century wife who collects books, who wants to teach parish children to read and whose mother is imprisoned for practising the catholic faith. Social and historical contexts are touched upon. At times it lacked detail and emotional impact.

  • Undefeated: Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian School Football TeamJim

    By Steve Sheinkin
    3 stars

    A young adult nonfiction book relating the history of American football, the triumphs of the team from Carlisle Indian School against the odds, and its hero Jim Thorpe. Engaging.

  • Bones and All

    By Camille DeAngelis
    3 stars

    A teenage cannibal is left behind by her mother who can no longer cope with her daughter's appetites. She sets off on a roadtrip to find a sense of belonging. Engaging. I wish it had ended 4 pages earlier for a more satisfying open ending.
