story of a girl

I just finished reading Story of a Girl by Sara Zarr. I was surprised at how much I liked it. The main character, Deanna, is trying to live down a the gossip about her from three years ago. She goes on a mental journey that many young women go through at that age. While the writing isn't as wonderful as many other writers for this age group, the story is good and the characters are interesting.

The book was recommended to me by a student, and I thank her for introducing me to this lovely book.

B -- Recommended for grade 9+
