(4) YA Pregnant and married at sixteen, Elly goes to work at a summer camp for overweight kids. Her boozing and cheating husband, a tragedy at camp, and the birth of her daughter force her to grow up fast. Elly is a complex character, difficult to like at times. It's worth sticking around for the satisfying (if melodramatic) conclusion to her journey.
Reviewer: Cynthia K. Ritter
