halfcentreader 's review for:

Belzhar by Meg Wolitzer
4.0

What a great YA book! Tying the plot into Sylvia Plath's novel The Bell Jar was a stroke of genius and did a great job of accentuating the feelings of the kids in the special English class. Finding out each child's traumatic story made the reader empathetic and saving Jam's complete version til the end was a stroke of genius. Highly recommend this as we all have been in similar situations sometime in our lives...
