A Place For Me |
Ostensibly a book for teenagers, this really had me gripped and interested from the first page. Motherless Lucy must suddenly leave all that is comforting and start a life alone, because of a danger her father can only hint at. Westall creates a situation which feels completely possible, and which is threatening and compulsive. It is very easy and quick to read and is an excellent way to clear the mind's palate between more weighty literary courses.
