Great example of what YA lit can be

My mother, a grade school teacher, used to bring home bags of books from the book sales at her school. This wouldn't have been a book I'd have picked up otherwise, but it's one I remember vividly from my adolescence 30 years ago! This story is set in an unconventional boarding school; its protagonist is not a perfectly coiffed blond cheerleader but a girl who feels like a lonely misfit. The school year sees her change and grow and find her true niche. The characters and their teen angst ring true; the boarding school sounded like an incredible place to learn. To top it all off, this is the book that turned me on to Shakespeare, because I had to read "The Taming of the Shrew" after reading about their performance!
