Elena
"Escribo desde la clínica. El psicólogo dice que escribir es buena terapia. No estoy segura. Además, no necesito terapia. No estoy loca. No estoy enferma. De todos modos, hago lo que el psicólogo dice."So begins “Elena,” written by award-winning teacher and scholar Bill VanPatten. Elena is a seventeen-year-old girl who claims to hear the Virgin’s voice. Concerned, her parents and priest think it’s wise to put her under psychiatric care. But does Elena really belong in a clinic? Defying stereotypes and taking us into the mind of an intelligent teenager, “Elena” is a story that hits all the right notes for students of Spanish. “Elena,” consisting of nine segments plus a prologue and an epilogue, is just the right length for students of intermediate and advanced Spanish.

Great bridge literature
This is a great book to read to bridge the gap between the intermediate level to the more advanced. I feel very proud of myself for being able to understand the book. Good story. Held my interest. Can't wait to read BVP's next one.

Better dialogue and writing style than many other readers. Compelling mystery; underwhelming ending. Is there more?
