The Nature of Jade

284 pp. | Simon | February, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-1005-3 $16.99
(3) YA Jade is coping with an anxiety disorder and oblivious parents, plus the pressures of senior year. Through her work with the elephants at the Seattle Zoo and her relationship with Sebastian, a young father, Jade learns to make difficult choices. Narrative exposition clogs the plot at first. It eventually clears, allowing a resonant, original story to emerge.
