Caught Between the Pages

After reading Chapter 1, I thought caught between the pages was going t be a futile attempt at capturing the mind of atroubled teenager of today but I was surprised. It was surprisingly good and covered a lot of the common problems teenagers have today. I'm in 11th and I'm sorta a loner so I understand the problems we have because I like to observe my surroundings and I occasionally overhear talk of drug abuse and the like. I did not like the ill-explained ending and false summary on the inside cover though and that is why I give it 4 stars.

I read "Caught between the Pages" because I had enjoyed the first two award winning books that Ms.Carvell wrote. Although it is a great shift in style from the free verse of her second book and the American Indian background of both her first and second books, the beauty of this story, as in all three, is her sensitive, skillful and honest treatment of the human condition - specifically of the increased angst of young people during difficult times. Her former students must be grateful to have had her in their lives.
