Book Reviews of The Outcasts of 19 Schuyler Place
Book Review: A refreshing pre-teen/teen novel reviewed by a pre-teen!
Summary: 4 Stars
Th Outcasts of 19 Schuyler Place is a wonderful novel about the trials and tribulations of 12-year-old life. I am of that age, myself, and empathize with the main character, Margaret Rose.When Margaret Rose discovers that one of the best things in her life is to be destroyed, she does everything she can think of to stop the demolition of the towers. With a team of, er, VERY DIFFERENT individuals that share her love for the towers, she partakes in a number of crazy and not-so crazy tasks to save her precious towers and her uncles' happiness.
Sadly, not everyone on Margaret's team thinks the same way as she does, so everything is not perfect in the end. At the end, she discovers the reason for her parents' absence and life leaves her feeling a little cheated and with a bad taste in the mouth.
This novel is perfect for pre-teens and teens. I really enjoyed because it shows how powerless young people are often made to feel, and it has a refreshing bittersweet ending too. I thoroughly recommend The Outcasts of 19 Schuyler Place to both young and old.
