OLDER FICTION
Rorby, Ginny

Lost in the River of Grass

(4) YA Sarah, a scholarship student who feels like an outcast at her new private school, distances herself from her classmates during a field trip to the Everglades, with near-disastrous results. Rorby suspensefully captures the otherworldly atmosphere of this singular setting; somewhat less successful is the forced-seeming social commentary. Nevertheless, it's an exciting read.
