byrzazueta Nov 6, 1999
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Clean, crisp prose; VERY accessible
Cons Can get dry, but only because of the subject matter

Cons May be too intense or mature for some audiences
Recommended it? Yes

I've been on a teen fiction kick lately, so it should be no surprise that one of my most recent picks was written by popular teen novelist Chris Crutcher.  As usual, it was originally suggested by my mother, a middle and high school librarian, and the teen librarian here at the library that employs...
