The Crying Rocks by Janet Taylor Lisle

4.0

I had a hard time getting into the author's writing style and liking her characters. I found the omniscient voice of the narration too jarring. Joell, while understandably hurt and tries to push people away, was kind of hard to like, and I almost gave up and put the book down. However, after about half way through I kind of end up liking her and the eccentric cast of characters in her life. The end of the book pulls together nicely and you end up seeing a little growth in all the characters. Just due to the content at the end, the book is more for high schoolers and not really appropriate for middle schoolers like I was hoping. However, it still a good read.
