The depiction of football is well done and will be a big draw, but the familiar path of the plot lessens the emotional buy-in for readers. Give this to sports-loving fans of Shannon Hale, Jennifer Holm, Kayla Miller, and Raina Telgemeier.
Give this book to younger fans of historical fiction and tentative fantasy who aren’t familiar with Shelley’s work and want an easy entry into this time period.
A solid campus mystery for readers who want the intrigue of a secret society and a death to unravel, but who don’t want the gory details. Add especially to collections frequented by a younger high school crowd.
Who could not love a book about a girl whose first spoken word was “read”? Add this biography to any collection looking to be well rounded when it comes to women’s history.
