A review by mamalemma
In Zanesville by Jo Ann Beard

5.0

Hauntingly beautiful evocation of what it is like to be a 14 year old girl. I have long wanted to write a book about an character's internal transformation without some major event that changes her, and had nearly come to the conclusion that it would be an impossible book to write. JoAnn Beard has proven me wrong. Nothing of importance happens in this book, but everything important in growing up does. It was a lovely read.
