The Little Woods by McCormick Templeman
4.0
It's refreshing to read a book that ends when the pages run out. :-)
Cally has been a fun character to get to know, except for her boyfriend relationship part. I guess that was thrown in to make her seem more like a teenager, or maybe so more people would turn on her. I don't know, but I wasn't impressed with it. It didn't seem in character at all.
I enjoyed the dynamics of boarding school life. There's always one of each of them in a group of girls, and I imagine the personality differences to be even more exaggerated when all the characters live together all the time.
Overall, a solid book. I guessed the culprit really early on and wish I hadn't been right, but the angle Templeman took was unforeseen, so it made it a little better.
One of my favorite characters was Chelsea. She's a no-holds barred, say what she thinks girl and totally rocked in this book. I would love to see a book starring her.
I would recommend this book to students who enjoy a goth-girl, alternative main character, and to students who enjoy mysteries.
