DOLLS

 Michael Hiebert. DOLLS. Dangerboy, 2013.

A writer known to local writer friends. Not my usual choice. I have very little experience of YA writing or of YA readers. This story, told in the first person, is about the MC, a girl, learning to identify and use her power. I could not tell whether the vocabulary would always have been approriate for a 12-year-old to use. Once or twice I felt the images would not have come to mind to that MC.  The reverences to spells and witchcraft would interfere in the story's being widely  accepted. Although, granted, Harry Potter still has many reader fans.
