Looking for Alibrandi
by Melina Marchetta
emotional
funny
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
I should clarify - 3.75 on the Melina scale, which is different from regular books. This is still a full star rating better than most YA contemporaries could offer
You can tell this was her debut because the story would get better over time but that sharp characterization and humanity is right there - each “antagonist” could be the protagonist of another novel with Josie as an annoying secondary character. They all have humanity
