Catalyst by Laurie Halse Anderson
lveglahn, July 8, 2008
Just like other LHA novels, I feel this applies most to high school students. I am attracted to the main character and her antagonist (Teri Litch or MIT, you decide). She struggles with the angel/devil angst that many young people do. LHA produces and novel that is applicable to the classroom, to YA's, and of course, adults who want to reconnect with youth.Compared to SPEAK, a far more gut wrenching novel than this, Catalyst places main character Kate Malone dancing in the gray area between the reality that she wants and the reality she is in.
Bravo, LHA.
