This review is from: Camilla (Paperback)

Camilla Dickinson has never really had to worry about anything in her life. Everything has always been pretty perfect for her. That is, until her parents, whom had always been loving and trusting of each other, begin treating each other like complete strangers, and begin trying to buy her love. Camilla is confused and upset by their sudden change in personality, and feels helpless about what she can do. That is, until she meets Frank, her best friend's older brother. Frank helps Camilla to realize that she is not alone, and that she is an independent young woman, who needs to accept her parents, and their disagreements, for what they are.

Being an avid fan of Madeline L'Engle, I just knew that I had to have this book. I couldn't be happier with making that purchase. I was amazed with this book from page 1. Camilla Dickinson is one of my favorite characters ever in a book. L'Engle has created a teenage girl whom everyone can love, and identify with. Someone who is going through something that many teenagers have to deal with everyday. Camilla is an empowering, and intelligent young woman, who will change the lives of every young woman who reads this book. You can't miss CAMILLA. A must-have for everyone. Young or old, male or female.

This review is from: Camilla (Paperback)

I am not a big fan of saying this is a "child's book" because I was not a child when I read this book. It is a timeless and ageless book, one for the entire family. If you haven't read it, you should, no matter how old you are. It has issues that everyone faces, whatever age you are.

This review is from: Camilla (Paperback)

"Camilla" is one of the best novels I've ever read. I'm a fan of Madeleine L'Engle, who never seems to fail in capturing the essence of the teenage girl. This is a beautiful book about young Camilla Dickinson who is faced with problems in her family life. Escaping from the torment of her home, Camilla spends a lot of time with her best friend's brother, Frank. With him she is opened to a whole new world of experiences. It's amazing to see how Camilla transforms from an insecure teenage girl to a strong, intelligent young woman. Ms. L'Engle wrote this story wonderfully, and also advertises a lot of culture in it (Holst's 'Planets', Prokofiev). "Camilla" is a beautiful!

When I first picked up Camilla, I thought it would be just another teen romance with a happy ending and lots of fluffiness without much of a problem. I was very wrong. Read more
