pandannah 's review for:

Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt

4.0

---

The only reason that I didn't give this a higher rating was my general dissatisfaction with adolescent/child narrators. Like most stories with young narrators, this one had a few instances where the fourteen year-old seemed to have the thoughts and mental capacity of an adult, which seemed to pull me out of the story. The ending was also a little neater than I would have liked but the rest of the story and characters were very well developed and engaging. This was a great read for a book club discussion because the characters themselves don't get all of the information which leaves the reader guessing as to character motivations and plot lines.

Would definitely recommend and would say that it takes a slightly more in-depth read to really get all the nuance.
