Nell's Quilt by Susan Terris

1.0

I originally bought this book to add to my 7th grade classroom library. Thankfully I read it first. I have never been one for censorship but I couldn't with good conscience put this in the hands of young girls. It doesn't foster understanding of a disease that is all too common among young girls in America. Instead, it cryptically explores eating disorders from a place of little research. Besides the lack of research, the story makes little sense, plot lines are left undeveloped and the characters are shallow. It is a dark book with no resolution.
