(4) YA When Jodie and her mother move from San Diego to Sierra Leone, lonely, anxious fourteen-year-old Jodie soon befriends Khadi, a local girl about to undergo female circumcision in a coming-of-age ceremony. The emotional and political issues surrounding female circumcision are too shallowly handled, but the general cross-cultural experience has an authentic touch. Glos.
