One dimensional characters that stayed exactly the same through the entire book. No growth or character development.

I adored this story when I read it and just now realised it's by the same author who wrote the famine stories my teacher read us in school. :) nice revelation!

edwina's review against another edition

3.0

A Girl Called Blue was a novel that focused on a young teenage girl living in an orphanage where she deems her life as boring and almost lifeless given the fact that she has always wanted to be adopted and given a family of her own to grow up and be happy in. The novel lacked plot and seemed a bit boring and I was quite bored therefore it took me quite a while to finish the book. I commend the author for trying to create a tale of hope, happiness and love and the yearning of a family from the perspective of a young girl. I only wished that the middle of the plot and the end was more concluded to a far happier note than it did. Therefore, I rated this novel three stars.
