Searching for YA novels with a more values-based theme for my daughter. This book, written by a Catholic apologist, is refreshing in that the characters' faith is written as a positive part of the story line (and not, as in most literature it seems, represented as a bad childhood memory). I have a hard time giving any YA fiction over three stars, but the atypical representation of good characters squeaked out an extra star. 3.5 starsThere's something about Regina Doman's books that always has me convinced I won't like them. Whenever I start one of them, I always have a problem with them until it reaches the climax. That's another thing, her books always have very clear climaxes. None of her books are anticlimactic. If you're sure you won't like this one when you start it, I highly recommend continuing. It gets so much better! Also, this one was not as religious as her other books, but at the same time, it was more religious. I don't know how to express that feeling, you just have to read it. So, go! Read it!
