LK Gardner-Griffie (Goodreads Author)
The flames shot to the side as Katie beat them with a branch. The intense heat of the fire caused sweat to drip into her eyes and her lungs burned from the smoke. Katie was losing the battle against the fire and could only hope that help would be there soon.

A story brimming with all the right ingredients for that ‘awkward’ age: growing up, relationships, finding a place in the world…
Packed with action from the start, this well written tale will have readers wanting to turn the pages.
I particularly liked the underlying humour, although mixed with a seriousness that borders the disturbing events, it shines enough to give us a glimpse of the true identity of the heroine…one to like and champion.
Certainly one for those ‘in-between’.

This definitely appealed to the teen girl in me, McCabe had real feeling that were understandable and difficult, from the moment her father died the tears for me just steam rolled down, i really sympathised with her and i understood what she was going to and that line i knew i didnt need to get their love i already had it...wow so strong powerful.
the writing was ok not great and some parts were a bit dated but a good read

My daughter really related to the character of Katie. I haven't yet read this book, but it was a page-turner for my daughter and prompted some great mother/daughter discussions between us.
A great book! YA or not, you'll enjoy Misfit McCabe.
