Deliver us from Evie

I'm not the lead blogger but here's some thoughts about Deliver us from Evie.

This book is definitly more for older kids then for younger ones as some of the books in the semester have been. I liked how Kerr took the issue of homosexuality and put it into a rural town full of farmers who did not have any previous experiences with homosexual people. I also likeds how Kerr did not put the people into a stereotypical situations. The most important aspect of this book I think is being yourself and also that there are consequences for your actions. Like when Parr put up the sign about Evie he had consequences and discovered that there were consequences for his actions. Also Evie always knew who she was and never tried to fight it no matter what people said to her. Overall this gives a good message and take the concept of homosexuality and rural town and discusses it in a matter to not be offensive to anyone.
