A review by wishfulfillment
Hair of Zoe Fleefenbacher Goes to School by Laurie Halse Anderson
4.0
I was surprised when I saw that one of my favorite authors, Laurie Halse Anderson, had a children’s book out, so I immediately ordered it at my library.
It definitely delivered everything I would expect from this author: it had a deeper message that would help both children and adults who are reading it. I found it inspiring and I thought that it was exactly the kind of book/message that I would want children to be reading about. I especially enjoyed the fact that Zoe’s parents were loving and supportive rather than the antagonists of the story, and I also love that there was a positive parallel to the antagonist as if to show that not all people in the antagonist’s position will behave or think the way that she did.
I recommend this for parents to read to their children, and teachers to read to their students.
