This is a children's novel but still is 100% worth the read! I loved it!

It is a really interesting young adult fantasy book that treats really important topics. I was weary of it when I got it, but I actually ended up loving it. My consensus is of 4/5

When the Men Were Gone by Marjorie Herrera Lewis
I loved the setup of this novel. It's based on the true story of a woman who coaches a high school football team during WWII. Sadly, I don't think the execution was that great. 3/5 rating

The narrative is revealed from the perspectives of two young people closely connected with Zoe Kruller. Firstly, Krista Diehl, a whose father Eddie had an extramarital affair with Zoe, and who was widely suspected of being her murderer. Secondly, Aaron Kruller, son of Zoe, whose father, Delray, was also a suspect in the killing.
The first half of the novel is mostly from Krista's perspective, and reveals the doubts and uncertainties of a teenage woman growing up in a divided family full of tension and angst. Small events are examined in intricate detail, as Krista explores her own emotions and emerging relationships with her father, mother and brother.
Krista also develops a fascination, confusing it with love, for Aaron Kruller, who is enigmatic, dark, moody and who has a sinister air about him.
Aaron takes over the narrative in the second half of the novel, as his life falls into disarray and petty crime, following the death of his mother and the gradual disintegration of his father Delray.
Oates manages to maintain an edge, a feeling of imbalance and uncertainty and intrigue throughout the novel as Krista and Aaron detail their perspectives on events in Sparta. The plotting is intricate and expertly handled, and the novel is always engaging and absorbing.
4 stars out of 5
