Deliver Us From Evie

Since the lead blogger has not posted, actually no one has posted I though I would discuss Deliver us From Evie. I have read a little over one third of the book. It was interesting how quickly I realized that the narrarator was placing alot of emphasis on how different and "not girly" Evie is. It was not until I read the note from Patsy that I though wow, Evie is interested in the opposite sex. Then I went back and read the part when Evie was wearing Patsy's sweater at the Halloween party and wondered if that was another hint made by the author. This books has been very good reading. It is a different perspective than the other young adult books we have been reading because Evie is not the narrarator, her brother is. Her family seems to lover her and her brothers really seem to care about her. It is also intersting how her parents really have no clue in the beginning of the book that their daughter not only dresses differently and wants to farm when she grows up, but this could possbily be an issue and Evie could be telling them lightly that she is "different".
