So what is this story about? Seelie loves horses and has spent a splendid day out riding. From the back of a horse, she notices a boy from school watching her - Shane. He is a few years older and has spent his school years bullying her. She flips him the bird and rides into the woods. He is a good ole boy - an athlete, he has friends. When she gets back to the barn, Shane attacks her and she must defend herself - she kills him in the process. As the story begins, she is calling 911 in order to get help. She has been cut and stabbed. She is bleeding profusely. She needs help - not only medical help but the support of her friends.
This story is about all that, it is also about arrest, the court system and the fear of prison. It is about her friends - in all of their imperfection.
This book isn't the perfect read. Some of the characters are a bit two dimensional and and some of the situations feel a little forced. But all in all, it is pretty entertaining. It kept me reading.
Today is Tuesday, March 2 - you have a couple of months to read this. You can find Junior Library Guild on our website under the Read tab.
