Mad Mabel (by Sally Hepworth)

When I open up a book by Sally Hepworth, I know I will get lost in the pages of a thrilling adventure. The main character, Elsie Mabel Fitzpatrick, is one you will not forget any time soon. As you explore Mabel’s past and present you will soon begin to wonder if she is as “mad” as she is rumored to be. Mabel has lived a life that is riddled with tragedies and the whispered assertions become fact in the eyes of her classmates and neighbors. This is not just a mystery; it is an exploration into how people are judged because they are different. Through Mabel’s tough exterior, you will get a glimpse of her true character. I do not want to say more because you need to read this one to figure out how “mad” Mabel really is. And be ready to fall in love with her young neighbor, Persephone. She made me smile.
