[Gaiselle]

this book a about a girl (about 13) who lives on a compound. she is the oldest girl out of all of the children except for a mentally disabled sister. the compound is in America. it is against the compound rules to read outside books but she sneaks away weekly to read books from the bookmobile. she really likes a boy around her own age but when he asks for permission to marry her, they both get into trouble. she is then told she will have to marry her uncle who very much older than her and already has several wives. she finally gets the courage to escape using the bookmobile. she is rescued by another compound escapee.

please help me figure out the name of this book. it was a very good book and i want to suggest it to my mentor group.

Pretty sure this is the one you're looking for:The Chosen One

[oliviasbooks]

I think so, too, Andria.

[Kate]

Definitely sounds like The Chosen One, especially the bookmobile part.

Kirkus Review - sounds like it, mentions prohibited books and a compound.

Sent her a PM letting her know about the suggestion. We'll see if she responds.

I've read The Chosen One, and this is spot on. 99 percent sure this is solved :)

[Ann aka Iftcan]

well, it's been 6 days since I sent the PM. We'll give it another few days.

I sent another PM, since I doubled checked and I sent the previous PM when my laptop was in the process of an electronic nervous breakdown. This time I was able to include the web-addy for the OP.

Gaiselle never responded, do we move this to Possibly Solved or to Abandoned?

[Ann aka Iftcan]

We'll go with Possibly Solved since I agree with everyone else about the likelihood of that being the correct book.

OP absent since 2012. Moving to Solved.
