Staff Book Pick of the Week: Furious by Jill Wolfson

Published by Kat on Mon, 05/13/2013 - 2:13pm

furious This week's pick is Furious, by Jill Wolfson.

Three girls who hardly know each other have something in common: they are all furious inside. Meg deals with the fury of being mistreated in her foster care home and made fun of at school, Stephanies is furious at the unjustness of a world which doesn’t care about the Earth, and Alix is furious about the way her father treats her family. One day, a mysterious girl named Ambrosia calls them together and wakes them up as the three mythical Furies of Greek mythology. Together, they discover how much power they have and how to use that power. Together, they create a world of justice, punishing those who have done wrong and causing them to feel guilt for their misdemeanors. Soon they girls believe that have done good, creating a high school where bullying is all but obsolete, where they are respected, where they are feared… but have they gone too far in their punishments? Stop in at the library to read it today!
