The Book Dragon has read Corinna Turner's
I Am Margaret and gives it 5 claws!
My review: "4.5 stars for this powerful, disturbing dystopian. The title character, Margaret (Margo) is an incredible young woman. Her faith and courage while facing unspeakable horrors is beyond inspiring. This reader will never forget her and hopes she could be half so brave if faced with similar persecution for her faith!
"A caution to parents: There are some graphic scenes of torture that are not gratuitous but have a very clear purpose. Even so, very young readers and/or the faint-hearted might have trouble reading them. Older teens will find Margaret's story unforgettable and inspiring, and they will want to continue with the next book in the series."
This book is also found on the
Catholic Teen Books website.
Thanks for the review, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! What a shame you didn't read it in a month or two, though, because I'm currently revising the rough language, and the review will very soon be out of date. :(
