A review by martha_schwalbe
A Certain October by Angela Johnson

3.0

Just at the point I wanted to yell, "It isn't your fault, move on!" a wonderful scene would appear. Johnson's writing elicits strong visual images for me, one that stands out is the screen door. The funny thing is that I'm not even sure the door actually exists in the text.
I'd recommend this book to all students, but especially to reluctant readers.
