The Borrower
by Rebecca Makkai
I listened to this book on Axis 360.
This book tugged at my heartstrings and made me want to hug all of my special middle schoolers who find their solace in the pages of the books I lend them. I love the age relationship that Lucy has with Ian, and I love that I could see my too-cautious self reflected in her. This book did a great job of showing the complicated boundaries that come with working with students who live hard lives. I would love to give this book five stars, but it’s so unbelievable that I found myself rolling my eyes at some points. Otherwise, a really sweet read!
I would recommend this book to anyone who knows what it’s like to want to protect a child from the people who are supposed to keep them the safest.
