"What do you want from me?" he asks. What I want from every
person in my life, I want to tell him. More.
Abandoned by her mother on Jellicoe Road when she was
eleven, Taylor Markham, now seventeen, is finally being
confronted with her past. But as the reluctant leader of her
boarding school dorm, there isn't a lot of time for
introspection. And while Hannah, the closest adult Taylor
has to family, has disappeared, Jonah Griggs is back in
town, moody stares and all. In this absorbing story
by Melina Marchetta, nothing is as it seems and every clue
leads to more questions as Taylor tries to work out the
connection between her mother dumping her, Hannah finding
her then and her sudden departure now, a mysterious stranger
who once whispered something in her ear, a boy in her
dreams, five kids who lived on Jellicoe Road eighteen years
ago, and the maddening and magnetic Jonah Griggs, who knows
her better than she thinks he does. If Taylor can put
together the pieces of her past, she might just be able to
change her future.
