"What do you want from me?" he asks. What I want from every person in my life, I want to tell him. More. Abandoned by her mother on Jellicoe Road when she was eleven, Taylor Markham, now seventeen, is finally being confronted with her past. But as the reluctant leader of her boarding school dorm, there isn't a lot of time for introspection. And while Hannah, the closest adult Taylor has to family, has disappeared, Jonah Griggs is back in town, moody stares and all. In this absorbing story by Melina Marchetta, nothing is as it seems and every clue leads to more questions as Taylor tries to work out the connection between her mother dumping her, Hannah finding her then and her sudden departure now, a mysterious stranger who once whispered something in her ear, a boy in her dreams, five kids who lived on Jellicoe Road eighteen years ago, and the maddening and magnetic Jonah Griggs, who knows her better than she thinks he does. If Taylor can put together the pieces of her past, she might just be able to change her future.

5.0 On the Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta
I promised myself I'm gonna start writing reviews for at least some of the books I've read - so here I am. I gotta say I started reading this book with some reservations but it managed to pleasantly surprise me. Taylor Markham - the main protagonist - is just my kind of girl, she's strong, courageou...

5.0 Jellicoe Road
Five star read. "On the Jellicoe Road" deserves every star and every accolade it's received in my opinion, and even as this is my first Marchetta read, I hope to read more of her works to come. This is a heart-wrenching novel; it's hard not to feel for each of the characters that are presented her...
