![]() ![]() All in all, it was a nice evening's entertainment. Alice Hoffman has high acclaim as an author, including this book, but I was a little disappointed, thinking it may have been better aimed toward the ages 8-10 market. ![]() Most early teenage girls that I've known fantasize about hand-holding and first kisses. I don't think that is realistic thinking of a thirteen-year-old girl. Martha is attracted to Trout, but states that they are "too young" to proceed with that kind of relationship. I say thirteen because that is how old the protagonist is, but with the run on sentences and the grammar/vocabulary I don't think she hits the mark. ![]() It felt like an adult trying (and failing) to write from a thirteen-year-old's prospective. It is an imaginative read, but I wasn't impressed with the way the book was written.
