I'm glad I found this one because it demonstrates exactly what this blog is for -- to find undiscovered little gems of literature. In the beginning, I sort of wished certain parts would be omitted so that "advanced young readers" could read it too, but then I realized that the overall theme and demeanor of the novel wouldn't really play well with the younger audience. "Fracture" is about a teen called Delaney. She drowns in a lake when she is playing with her friend, but miraculously survives. However, she now knows that her survival comes at a cost. This book is spooky, creepy, heart wrenching, and heartwarming all at the same time. A good read, just take it seriously!

Excellent review. I am going to pick this up for my daughter to read.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you recommended this as a little gem. I was convinced to read it by your description of it as "spooky, creepy, heart wrenching, and heartwarming all at the same time." I'm glad I did. Thanks!
