A review by edwina
A Girl Called Blue by Marita Conlon-McKenna

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.
