Winner of the 2009 Michael L. Printz Award for excellence in Young Adult literature.

A highly anticipated follow-up from the best-selling author of Looking for Alibrandi and Saving Francesca, both highly acclaimed productions available from Bolinda Audio.

Taylor Markham is now a senior at the Jellicoe School, and has been made leader of the boarders. She is responsible for keeping the upper hand in the territory wars with the townies, and the cadets who camp on the edge of the school's property over summer. She has to keep her students safe and the territories enforced and to deal with Jonah Griggs - the leader of the cadets and someone she'd rather forget. But what she needs to do, more than anything, is unravel the mystery of her past and find her mother - who abandoned her on the Jellicoe Road six years before. The only connection to her past, Hannah, the woman who found her, has now disappeared, too, and he only clue Taylor has about Hannah and her mother's past is a partially written manuscript about a group of five kids from the Jellicoe School, 20 years ago.

Elgee Writes

If you are ready for a roller coaster ride, this is perfect for you.

Reviewed in India on 17 September 2018

Before I proceed I want to warn you, I strive to write a spoiler free review. But here is what happened; I didn’t understand what was going on in the book until I was in the middle of it. I even thought of abandoning the book but the writing was beautiful and kept me going. And when it started making sense, it was worth all the chaos.

Things that I loved:
As I mentioned earlier Jellicoe Road is definitely tough to get into but Melina Marchetta’s writing will suck into this strange world where kids learn to protect theirs and take over others’ land.

I loved that all the characters had multiple layers and a deeper story. I loved that even before I understood the plot I got deeply invested into the lives of these kids that I couldn’t stop reading.I am totally in love with the kids from 80s in the manuscript.

The characters in Jellicoe Road deal with death, grief, abandonment, drugs addiction and suicide and I am sure for a Young Adult book this is too heavy. I am still confused whether to tag this one as Young Adult or contemporary or even a mystery.

Things that didn’t work for me:
I am finally getting used to not searching for responsible adults in YA and you wouldn’t find them in Jellicoe Road.

And I am not gonna lie, it did feel like it took ages to understand who they were and what happened to them. Though I kinda guessed it about three-fourth into the story, but I am not going to complain.

While I am happy at how things turned out for the three factions, I also am kinda annoyed that the story took huge diversion from that part of the story.

There were times when the teenage angst and the whiny female lead got to me, but I am glad I chose to eye-roll and ignore them.

Bottomline:
If you are ready for a roller coaster ride that may or not end up in happy tears Jellicoe Road is the perfect YA for you.

Couldn't keep this down. The storyline is so gripping. On The Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta deserves all the love.

Love this book, originally bought for a quote in the book. But after reading the story I was hooked into another world. Definitely worth the buy. I keep reading this book over and over

A well woven story with heart, soft humour and the odd tear. Interesting characters searching for something and an interesting setting that adds depth. I would recommend this story as it keeps you turning the pages and hoping for good for the characters.
