Product Description

Review

'Every now and then, a novel that is as solid as steel lands in readers' hands. A novel needs the right proportion of its own hardening agents to deliver on the page. The Mitochondrial Curiosities of Marcels 1-19 is such a book ... Jocelyn Brown's young-adult novel and its characters possess a firm cell structure, hip-swinging hilarity and the full range of emotional rotation ... be very excited about the arrival of a major Canadian writer.' — Vancouver Sun

'Many a young reader will empathize with Dree and pull for her to succeed as she plots and crafts a series of sock puppets, all named Marcel, to symbolize the evolution of her ideas and psyche, hence the unusual title ... This thought-provoking read is highly recommended.' — VOYA

Review

'The teenage rites-of-passage novel gets a distinctly new twist ... Kudos to Brown for turning young-adult literature inside out.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Pain was never so funny, Oct 3 2009

By David L - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Mitochondrial Curiosities of Marcels 1 to 19 (Paperback)

A wonderful book for a teenage girl, but hysterically funny for anyone who can look back at being a teenager as well. Jocelyn Brown writes about teen angst and alienation in a true and very funny voice.
