What My Mother Doesn't Know

(4) YA This novel chronicles the life and loves of eighth-grader Sophie in first-person free-verse poems. Sones tries a little too hard to be hip and her style is sometimes contrived, but overall the voice is fresh and honest, often transcending cool to realistically portray adolescent vulnerability.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz
