The reviews are mixed on this one: it seems like readers either liked it or loathed it -- some thought it had a great feminist message, others thought it's message was terrible. Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed this one, and found myself wanting to put it in the hands of all of the teenage girls ... VIEW POST
“Jellicoe Road” by Melina Marchetta #printzproject
