4.0 out of 5 stars Nancy Springer Does it again, October 12, 2004

This review is from: Secret Star (Hardcover)
Tess Mathis lives with her her disabled stepfather. She is so poor they have no electricity and very little food. When a young man named Kamo comes to town asking her questions it stirs up memories of a past Tess would rather forget. Is Kamo a bad guy like his facial scars and attitude would have you believe? Or is he really a friend in disguise?

I loved Nancy Springer books for adults, and decided to read some of her childrens' books on a whim and I found this book enjoyable. While I found it somewhat implausible that a child like Tess would live in such abject poverty without social services becoming involved, I like the characters of Kamo and Tess and her stepfather.

Well worth the read for the for adults and teens alike.
