Girlwood by Claire Dean, Christy Yorke

3.0

A little hard for me to get into, and when I finally did begin reading, it wasn't that engaging. I felt very removed from the characters, and Polly, the heroine, seemed (to me) to act and say things more like she was an eight-year-old rather than a twelve-year-old.
Younger readers would probably like it a lot; it has a theme--girls being strong and coming into their own power--but it just didn't have enough character development or emotions for me.
