Eleanor by Johnny Worthen
4.0
Eleanor is a 15 year old girl growing up in a small Wyoming town. As any 15 year old, she has trials and tribulations. But, Eleanor doesn't want to stand out. She wants to be unseen. Why? And what happens to her? This is the story.
I was confused about the setting. Johnny describes it as being in eastern Wyoming, mid-way between Yellowstone and Cheyenne, yet there are aspects of it that sound like it's in the mountains of western Wyoming and others on the prairie of eastern Wyoming.
He also has Eleanor and David wading in and catching tadpoles in a lake fed by the runoff in March. The water at that time of year would be too cold for either of those things. There are also some editing issues. However, these are small errors and don't take away from the story as a whole.
Eleanor is a great read that will pull you in and keep you there. I read the first half on a flight from Salt Lake City to Detroit and finished it on the return trip. I'm looking forward to book two, Celeste, and the recently publishing finale to the series, David.
