Lange, Erin Jade Rebel,
Bully, Geek, Pariah, 310 pgs. Bloomsbury Publishing, 2016. $17.99. Language: R (148 swears, 17 “f”); Mature
Content: PG-13; Violence: PG-13.
Four
teenagers end up on the run together after an incident at a party goes
bad. Forced together, it would seem that
they have nothing in common. However,
each of the two boys and two girls have demons in their past they are dealing
with in addition to the threat to their present. As the unlikely group learns to work
together, their past influences the decisions they make to stay alive.
The book is a fast read with high interest. The storytelling bounces to a few flashbacks
to flesh out the characters and is done through Sam, the pariah, who tries to
stay invisible for reasons of her own.
The content deals with mature content, including dysfunctional families,
drugs, lesbianism, stealing, and violence, though not in graphic detail.
HS – ADVISABLE.
Reviewer, Michelle in the Middle
