A must read for mature girls.

However, even though the novel is short, it had a great deal of honesty and depth. I believe adults would enjoy this novel as well, because even though the protagonist is a teenage girl, I think the wonderful writing gives it crossover appeal. Overall, I found Mama’s Song to be a unique and fascinating novel, that was at times depressing, but also incredibly hopeful.
