homingpigeon 's review for:

Rabble Starkey by Lois Lowry
4.0

Why has this title fallen into obscurity? The writing quality is superb — easily on par with Lowry's better-known books like Number the Stars. I stumbled upon this because it was a free borrow under the Kindle Unlimited program. The story appears to take place in the 1980s, but other than a brief reference to a VCR, it hasn't aged a bit. The characters are strong and their growth satisfying and believable. This thing deserves a reprint.
