Sweet! Compass just received an award from
Stargazer Literary Prizes - it was selected as a Finalist today! Wow!
It came with such a lovely review too!
Here's the review - enjoy!
Compass is the sequel to
Sway, written by Jennifer
Gibson. The book follows the life of a girl who is hearing impaired.
Life for Jessie is a juggling act, learning to be happy and whole in a
world of persistent antagonists and obstacles impeding her path towards a
“normal life.” You will find yourself alongside the many unjust actions
inflicted on Jessie while your heart glows as she finds true joy in
life. The pages are lined with eloquent words that infuse life into the
characters.
Compass is a book that I would recommend to any
teen. Its simplicity is easy to follow and it leaves you feeling better
than when you first picked it up. —Savannah H., Stargazer Literary
