dianalrendina 's review for:
I, Emma Freke
by Elizabeth Atkinson
Out of all the books I've read recently, this was definitely one of my favorites.
Emma has lived most of her life as a social outcast. She has a New Age hippie mother who doesn't seem to believe in mothering. She's never met her father. She is "too" tall, "too" smart, and painfully awkward with bright red hair. She pretty much does everything possible to avoid talking with people her own age. She only has one friend, who's much younger than here. And to top it all off, her last name is Freke. When you say her name slowly, it sounds like "Am a freak".
When a mysterious invitation to a family reunion for her father's family comes in the mail, Emma decides that it's finally time to find out who she really is and maybe, find a place to belong.
