Hardie Grant Egmont. Young Adult, Humour. Paperback RRP $16.95
Reviewer - Barbara Brown
Zelah Green has a problem. Zelah doesn’t think that it’s
that big of a problem but her stepmother has decided it is. 
Zelah can’t touch people. She doesn’t like dirt and hates
germs. She has to keep her bizarre and strange routines correct otherwise
something bad happens, like when her mother died and her father left.
When Zelah’s stepmother sends her to a special hospital,
Zelah realises her quirks may be a little bit strange, but not as strange as
the other inhabitants, Alice the anorexic, Caro the self-mutilator and Sol the
silent but cute guy.
Zelah Green is a
funny yet touching story of modern-day problems that are very real for many
children. An easy read recommended for the high school library book shelf.
