The Trouble with Liberty is that the cover scares the heck out of me! It reminds me of Baby Jane Hudson! Still I read it because it is one of the Orca Soundings books because I get a lot of readers advisory questions about teen books for reluctant readers and/or teens reading below grade level. They are kind of like the Law & Order series of teen fiction in that they are "ripped from the headlines," that kind of thing. Trouble with parents, date rape, and in Liberty's case, the issue of a teacher molesting a student.
I can definatley see how this book would be right on the money for a teen who is reading below grade level wants a story that is interesting. For me though...man...I just couldn't get "I've Written a Letter to Daddy" out of my head. Shudder.
