Marie's father has died, her mother is locked in her own grief, her peers think her weird. But it is her honesty and desire to see justice done which finally earn Marie the respect she deserves. She acquires a boyfriend, consolidates a friendship and extracts the emotional clutter from her life. It's essential for teenagers to be able to recognise and confront their problems through books. This book helps - it's not outstanding literature itself but it is thoughtful and reassuring. 3rd years upwards might reap its rewards.
