New YA from Nicole O'Dell. THE WISHING PEARL great teen reads

Number in series: 1

What I liked about this book:  This book reminded me in some ways like a Jenny B. Jones novel.
  This book showed that you may not realize that someone could be really be hurting and looking for answers.


What I didn't like about this book: There is nothing I can think of.


My rating: 2 . 5


NOTE: This book deals with mature topics, like substance abuse and rape. For that reason I wouldn't recommend this book for those under the age of fifteen.

  2. Rissi- Your welcome! I found it while browsing through my local library. I saw that Jenny B. Jones recommended it on the cover, so that really peaked my interest.
