Looking for JJ
(23 reviews with an average rating of 5 out of 5)
Publisher: Scholastic
Review
When a 10-year-old girl kills her best friend, she is convicted of manslaughter and locked away. Seven years later she is released on licence with a new identity.
In this brave and intelligent novel, Anne Cassidy explores a range of themes, questioning everything from the ethics of tabloid journalism to the outcome of ineffectual parenting. Asking more questions than it answers, this is a brilliant and disturbing piece of writing, that looks beyond the headlines and forces the reader to confront and question some of their own attitudes to contemporary issues.

Teen/YA Crime
One of the best way to engage teenagers with books is to give them stories that can't put down, and what genre is more gripping then crime?

I thought this book was only just below average, I mean, it seemed to think that the reader wasn't paying attention, repeating throughout the story: "She was JJ." "I'm looking for JJ.He explained. He had found her." It was like, keep hammering it in book, I'm sure my feeble mind will comprehend it soon enough. Nonetheless despite a few plot holes and closures it's... alright.
