The Pox Party

I'm a little in-between on this book. One the one hand, it is beautifully written and it's easily seen why it has won the awards it has. The characters are well developed and their language used is dead on with the historical era the book takes place in. However, it was hard to focus on it... it never really grabbed my attention and held on. Towards the middle of the book, I merely continued reading because of the beautiful word choice and language (hoping I would maybe catch on in my own speech) but it was a rather boring book. I would still recommend it to older teens and adults.
