“Just a little Boy Crazy” by Shelbie M. Moore is a superbly written novel for such a young author. The flow of the novel was strikingly consistent with the title. The vividness and luminosity of a fifteen year old having splendid control of thoughts, ideas, and imagination with brilliant balance are beyond words. Although this novel was primarily written to teens, and possibly teenaged girls, as a mature adult reader, I was impressed with its strong literary potential and value. The depth and imagery used in the novel construction are obvious signs of precociousness. Even without the occasional strong language and subliminal sexual images, I was able to see clearly the talent and flair of this gifted young author.
