This book sounds really good. Even though I’m 42 I find a lot of the YA novels quite good and love reading them along with all the other stuff. I especially like something taking place in Canada being a Canadian myself. Thanks for the great review!

I really love road trip stories– especially Canadian ones. Another good one is Volkswagen Blues.

Interesting that it starts in Newfoundland but is called Porcupine. Did you know there are no porcupines in Newfoundland (the island portion of the province anyway– I’m not sure about Labrador). Nor are there skunks, racoons, chipmunks, crickets, or fireflies. Moose were even introduced.

Sounds like a great book – I’m a high school English teacher, and I’m really interested in female coming-of-age stories. I’m putting that on a “to read” list for sure – thanks for sharing!

ooooooo. I’m loving the re-design! Very nice!

I still haven’t read any of Meg Tilly’s work but I did have a chance to hear her speak at NV08. I never realized how funny she was! I have another of her books on my TBR pile. I’ll get to it eventually!

Thanks for the sugestion! YA books are my favorite genre (I temper them with lots of non-fiction). I’m always on the look out for something to read.
