The House of the Scorpion
Nancy Farmer
Simon Pulse, 2004
Amazing book for even the most conservative readers
+ A nice break from heavy
+ bizarre but compelling
This book is simply amazing--fluidly well told, with none of the typical "coming of age" tawdry sexualization, no offensive language, just an interesting take on contemporary issues. The realistic characters and well-paced story make this book worthy of all the awards it garnered. Buy your kid ...
