Reseña del libro "An Unsuitable Girl"
"I bought this book for my granddaughter and she loved it! This a great period novel about the late 60s." -- Hubert C. Against the backdrop of the Adirondack Mountains, during the turmoil of the Vietnam War, two girls join up their senior year in high school, 1969. Sarah Hansson was tired of being lonely. She yearned for a close female friend. Though several of the boys were friendly towards her, it wasn't the same thing. And most of all, she was fed up with the other kids putting her down because she was against the Vietnam War. But in August, a Mohawk girl arrives from the Akwesasne Reservation in New York joining Canada, and Sarah sees her chance to make a new friend. Surprisingly, Becky Mullinex impresses several of the other students, and by the Christmas dance the class has become less divided. Becky has paired up with Mark, Sarah's fellow mischievous-maker, while Sarah herself had begun to tolerate some of the other girls. However, at the dance she gives in to her loneliness and makes a serious mistake that helps to land a fellow student in the hospital, threatening Sarah and a few others with expulsion. But with the help of her firm-footed mentors-Mrs. Revis, Mr. Kunz, Mr. Littlefield-and the passionate knowledge she has torn out of Conrad, Larsen and Austen, she surfs the tide.
