Haddix, Margaret Petersen Leaving Fishers, 255 p. Simon & Schuster, 1997, 2012. $9 (new paperback edition).
MS, HS – ADVISABLE
MS, HS – ADVISABLE
Dorry is just floating through her new
school – friendless. Until Angela
and her friends come to her rescue and introduce her to their religious group,
the Fishers of Men. At first their
attention is flattering, but step by step, the Fishers start pulling Dorry away
from her job, from school and even from her family. Will Dorry choose this group over everything?
Haddix’s look at the draw of a cult
hasn’t lost any of its power after 15 years. And if you can help a student draw the same connection to
gang membership, even better!
Cindy, Library Teacher.
