A review by juicelina
The Warden's Daughter by Jerry Spinelli

3.0

I feel like I didn't appreciate this book as much as I could have.

It was a really interesting coming of age story about an unhappy girl, who is coping with the death of her mother and searching for a mother figure in her trustee. I didn't like Cammie at first, but that was the point. She was a brat. She was angry. She was unhappy. This book is all about her growing up and finding that happiness in one summer. The story was very well-developed. Things flowed really nicely. Also it was different reading something set in the 60s since I'm not really one to pick books up from the time period. I kind of enjoyed it.

But like I said, I didn't really appreciate this book as much as I could have. It was very slow to me and it took me a long time to finally get into it. I didn't really realize until the end how important this book was. Honesty, I don't really know how to review this considering I didn't start liking it until the middle-end of the book.

I think this book is worth the read. It wasn't really for me, but I feel like it could be a very impactful read for someone.
