Among Others by Jo Walton. 302 p.I read several rave reviews of this book when it came out a few months ago, but I was still surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Morwenna is trying to adapt to her new life--crippled by a car accident that killed her twin sister, shipped off to a snooty English boarding school (she's Welsh) by the father she's just met, hoping that her mother won't find her.... Joining the local library, where she can get interlibrary loan books for free, and then joining the science fiction book club the librarian tells her about, changes her life again.
Anyone who was an avid reader as a teenager--especially anyone who grew up reading science fiction, as I did--should definitely check this out.
