House Like a Lotus

3 books:
-A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
-Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery
-Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

Statement:
At first I was confused what the title had to do with the book but after I found out that the Lotus is a symbol for re-birth something that Polly experiences, I feel like the title fits the book perfectly.

Question:
Since this book deals with a lot of adult issues what age group do you feel should read this book? Would a middle schooler understand some of the issues that are being brought up such as all the relationships that Polly was in?
