Negative Positive
Title: Really? For 12-year-olds and younger?
Review: I'm a mom, and this book was on a recommended reading list at school.Maybe it's just me. This book is packed with mopey life-and-death musings, I-hate-my-family tantrums (including from the DAD!), sarcastic language, and four-letter words. The writing is pretty, the relationship with the grandmother is very special, and the characterization of Martha is complete, but... this is not an enjoyable book.Is twelve too young for a first kiss?Amazon won't let me post the bad language -- I may put it in the comments.
