Azalea, Reviewed

Maine book columnist Bill Bushnell reviews Azalea, Unschooled on centralmaine.com, the online site for Kennebec Journal and Morning Sentinel.

“Azalea Unschooled” is the debut middle-grade (ages 8-12) novel by Portland author Liza Kleinman, a clever, fun story containing well-crafted life lessons about family and friend relationships, parents and children, and the things they learn when faced with unexpected challenges. Kleinman is a talented writer with a good eye for middle-grade storytelling. This is a tale that kids and adults will enjoy — the humor, the suspense, the mystery and a precocious girl trying to figure it all out.
