The Wild Girls by Pat Murphy


It took me a little while to get into this story, but I did enjoy it. I listened to this novel and the narrator did a great job of bringing the characters to life.

From Amazon:
It’s 1972. Twelve-year-old Joan is sure that she is going to be miserable when her family moves. Then she meets a most unusual girl. Sarah prefers to be called “Fox,” and lives with her author dad in a rundown house in the middle of the woods. The two girls start writing their own stories together, and when one wins first place in a student contest, they find themselves recruited for a summer writing class taught by the equally unusual Verla Volante. The Wild Girls brilliantly explores friendship, the power of story, and how coming of age means finding your own answers.

Happy reading! If you read The Wild Girls, comment on this post and let me know how you liked it. :)
