When "one of the reigning queens of women's fiction" (USA Today) writes a young adult novel, the whole world should take notice. Author Adriana Trigiani has already won herself a worldwide reputation with her soulful Very Valentine and Big Stone Gap excursions, now she ventures into the coming-of-age experiences of Viola, a nice Brooklyn girl who just wants to survive boarding school in the Midwest. Feisty teen fiction.
I'm marooned.
Abandoned.
Left to rot in boarding school . . .
Viola doesn't*want*to go to boarding school, but somehow she ends up at an all-girls school in South Bend, Indiana, far, far away from her home in Brooklyn, New York. Now Viola is stuck for a whole year in the sherbet-colored sweater capital of the world.
Ick.
There's no way Viola's going to survive the year-especially since she has to replace her best friend Andrew with three new roommates who, disturbingly, actually seem to*like*it there. She resorts to viewing the world (and hiding) behind the lens of her video camera.
Boarding school, though, and her roommates and even the Midwest are nothing like she thought they would be, and soon Viola realizes she may be in for the most incredible year of her life.
But first she has to put the camera down and let the world in.
