Negative Positive
Title: Dovey Coe is no Scout
Review: I found this book oddly flat and was disappointed by the ending, which I found hard to believe and to a certain extent, ridiculous. While this has its strong points, particularly the writing and in the development of characters, I felt the story needed more substance. To compare it (on the flaps!) to TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is a shame. There are far better books available for young readers than this.
