The Yonahlossee Riding Camp for Girls by Anton DiSclafani
Last year was the first year in a long while that I didn't keep track of what I was reading. I needed a break! I needed to lay and look at the wall without thinking. I needed to have an excuse to start a book and not finish it. I do a lot of reading and there can be pressure to read as much as I can! But this year, I'm back at it.
The Yonahlossee Riding Camp for Girls is my first pick for the new year. To be honest, it's the first book in a long time that I've picked up and I picked it up only because it was about boarding school and summer camp. Oh, those summers I worked at summer camp. So much scandal. And I always wish I would have attended boarding school. I just think it would have been fun.
Anyway, the book was good! It was a little more sensual that I would have thought for a book about a 15 year old during the depression, but I liked it. The author did a great job weaving in the background or what Thea was being punished for with Thea's current life at the camp. It's not my typical novel-- I really do love a good mystery-- but I'm glad I picked it up!
