Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I received this book for review. From the publishers: "Lucy is a sensible, perhaps even rigid, thirteen year old who is convinced that Grandma, God, and the Catholic Church are on her side. She tries hard to make her twenty-eight-year-old mother see the error of her ways." I figured this YA novel would essentially be religious fiction. Or at least that the fact that Lucy's mom had her when she was only 14 would play a more prominent part of the plot. Yes, it's important - because she is a young mother "chaffing at the restraints on her life," Lucy's life is uprooted. But really, the book is about Lucy and how she sees the world. She is a quirky, wonderful narrator, very serious, and almost rigidly Catholic. The plot meanders a bit, but that doesn't really matter because Lucy's character was so interesting to read. I giggled out loud through much of the book! I recommend Lucy Unstrung to young-to-mid teens; while there's nothing graphic, there is a fair amount of drinking and implied sex. It's a very sweet coming-of-age story.
